London, The Monument
With this old postcard you need to have heard of “The Monument” before because its location is not identified, but we — and Wikipedia — will help you: “The Monument to the Great Fire of London, more commonly known as the Monument, is a fluted Doric column near the northern end of London Bridge. Commemorating the Great Fire of London, it stands at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill, 202 feet (62 m) in height and 202 feet west of the spot in Pudding Lane where the Great Fire started on 2 September 1666. Constructed between 1671 and 1677, it was built on the site of St Margaret, New Fish Street, the first church to be destroyed by the Great Fire.” So with this information and the postcard in hand, you can go visit. Unused, aged appropriately. Grade: 1
