Ludgate Circus


As Paul Nixon mentioned in his comment to my last post, Ludgate Circus has changed a bit since my family lived there.

G-uncle Ted was a typewriter mechanic and must have been busy in the era before word-processors and computers. One of his hobbies was painting and one of his pictures that I possess is that of Ludgate Circus - Sunday Morning and dated 1903. The view is from one of windows at the top of Number 4 and looks up Ludgate Hill towards St Paul's Cathedral.

Interesting that this picture contains a policeman, I wonder if this is nod in his father's direction?
