Bank junction horse-drawn traffic. Early 20th-century view of horse-drawn buses and pedestrians, in the road junction between the Bank of England (left) and the Royal Exchange (right) in London, UK. At left are road signs (Prince's Street and Threadneedle Street). This view looks north-east down Threadneedle Street. This Royal Exchange building dates from 1844, as does the equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington. The Bank of England facade is by John Soane, pre-dating the 1913 additions by Herbert Baker. Horse-drawn buses (last one in 1914) would soon be replaced by petrol buses. Detroit Publishing Company photograph, circa 1900 to 1910.
