Lyons Inn, Westminster, London, 1804 - A Glimpse into the Disreputable Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1804, capturing Lyons Inn in all its architectural glory. Painted by James Sargant Storer, this image provides a fascinating glimpse into one of the Inns of Chancery that once graced Westminster's streets. Once a prestigious hub for legal professionals, Lyons Inn had fallen from grace by the early 1860s. Its lawyers had acquired a disreputable reputation over time. However, this engraving allows us to appreciate its grandeur before its dissolution. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia as we observe the intricate details of this historic building exterior. The entrance stands proudly on an avenue off Strand Street in the City of Westminster—a testament to British architecture during the 19th century. As we peer through time's lens at Lyons Inn, we can almost imagine bustling crowds traversing these very steps—people who played their part in shaping England's legal landscape. This print is not just a depiction of bricks and mortar; it encapsulates centuries' worth of history within its frame. Preserved by John Greig at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this artwork serves as a reminder that even buildings can hold stories untold. It transports us to another era when law and order reigned supreme on these hallowed grounds—an evocative tribute to London's past
