| There is often debate nowadays when skyscrapers are proposed for sites in the City and central London whereby traditionalists are worried what effect the new structure will have in relation to St Paul's Cathedral. This photo illustrates well where this tradition has come from. Just look at position of St Paul's relative to its surroundings. A substantial landmark back in the 1920s and indeed before and some time after. It is still important to today but not quite as striking as back then on the skyline. |   EZTD | Wednesday 27th of June 2012 11:38:07 PM |
