Royal Courts of Justice in Strand
Description
View of The Royal Courts of Justice in Strand, Covent Garden. The image shows two large conical turrets standing either side of the main entrance. In the centre, in an island in Strand that includes St Clement Danes Church, there are steps down to a public toilet and an ornate lamp standard is seen nearby. The lamp standard has four lights on scroll brackets with a fifth above. Described as a lamp standard-ventilator, it was made by Walter Macfarlane & Co. at the Saracen Foundry in Glasgow. Dating from the late-nineteenth century, it was Grade II listed in 1970; listing number 1264443. Many pedestrians can be seen on the pavement. There are several street trees. One of the jewels of the High Victorian Gothic Revival, a large, national courtroom building of 1874 to 1883, designed and built by George Edmund Street and completed by Arthur E. Street and Sir Arthur Blomfield. Stylistically it combines thirteenth-century English and French architecture with Italian elements. Several pedestrians are visible around the building. Built predominantly in Portland stone, it was Grade I listed in 1970; listing number 1264258.
