Title
View of Little Britain
Description
A view towards Little Britain, City of London, from West Smithfield. A sign on the building on the right, which is part of St Bartholomew's Hospital, points towards the entrance to the church of St Bartholomew the Great on the left. The distinctive timber gatehouse is a rare survivor of Tudor London and was built in 1595 as a two-storey house with an attic. A shop with awning sits next to the gatehouse, and next to this the site is being excavated. The buildings with scaffolding beyond this no longer survive. A sign for the Meat Co. Ltd can be seen above the nearest building, which will have connections with Smithfield Market close by. A car with chauffeur has the door open, and other cars including a Morris Oxford are parked alongside.
