Borough High Street (Yesterday & Today)
Picture of Borough High Street from 1885 which is full of detail of the area at
this time. On the left of the picture we see a Wheelwrights cart full of wheels
and in the middle of the road coming towards us a Horse Drawn Bus.
In the distance we can see the top of Southwark Cathedral which today has
been lost, a good view of the buildings that stood in this area at that time and
by the number of people about know doubt it was a busy shopping area.
Picture of the same area today from Google Earth. We can see most of the old buildings have gone
and the view of the Cathedral is almost out of sight.
