St Alphage House and remains of the former Church of St Alphege, London Wall, City of London, c1955-c1980. A detailed view of the ruined tower of the church, which was demolished in 1923, with St Alphage House, a 1950s tower block, in the background. The church tower was built in the 14th century and was most likely the central tower of the church. The church had been rebuilt in 1777 and pulled down in 1923. The masonry is flint and rubble, with pointed arches in each of the three walls. The south wall is gone, and the mid 20th century tower blocks around the tower were built as a post-war development. St Alphage House was demolished in 2014.
