Photography — 1881
George Inn Yard, Southwark
George Inn yard, Southwark, 1881. This photograph was commissioned by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London to form part of a permanent visual record of historic buildings threatened with alteration or possible demolition in the 1870s and 1880s. The coming of the railways in the mid 19th century led to the decline of many of the old coaching inns. Several in Southwark survived for a time but fell into disrepair and their yards became redundant. At the time of this photograph the yard of the 'George' was used as a railway goods office and some of the galleries had been boarded up.
