[Vwoolf] London in 1910 and 1920

No. 10, “The West End ... in 1910” – the earliest this photo could be is c. 1927!

No. 12, “Trafalgar Square in 1920” – I *think* the statue is of Gordon (moved to the Embankment in 1953), mentioned as being in T. Sq. in “Mrs. D.”.  Cf.

I thought that these old photographs might be of interest to list members; the ones from 1920 represent London as Clarissa Dalloway might have experienced the town!

I did wonder though about the picture claiming to show the West End in 1910; the cars and one of the buses look too modern for 1910. But I'm no expert.
