EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and historical significance of the Royal Courts of Justice in London, as it stood in the early 20th century. Dated 1910, the image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time over a century ago. The imposing structure, with its intricate stonework and tall, arched windows, stands proudly against the grey London sky. The Strand, a bustling thoroughfare, can be seen in the foreground, filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, adding a sense of activity and energy to the scene. The Royal Courts of Justice, also known as the Strand Palace, is the busiest civil law court in England and Wales. Established in 1882, it replaced the old Star Chamber and the Court of King's Bench, consolidating the civil jurisdiction of the English legal system. The building was designed by architects, Silas Reed and John Belcher, in the Victorian Gothic Revival style. Its construction was a significant undertaking, taking over 20 years to complete, and costing over £1 million. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and architectural beauty of London's legal institutions. The image invites us to reflect on the importance of the legal system in shaping society and upholding justice, while also offering a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Royal Courts of Justice continue to serve as a symbol of the rule of law and the enduring legacy of London's legal heritage.
