Summary

edit
Description This is a pre WW1 view of Parliament Square looking southwest from the junction with Bridge Street, it may even be late 19th century. The view from the left shows the perimeter of New Palace Yard which had a pedestrian gate on this corner, St. Margaret's Church and Westminster Abbey are in the distance. On the right is the pedestrian refuge which in 1868 was the site of the world's first 'traffic lights' powered by gas. The statues in Parliament Square are the Earl of Beaconsfield (Benjamin Disraeli) opposite St. Margaret's Church and Viscount Palmerston and the Earl of Derby facing New Palace Yard.
