London in 1991 Through Fascinating Black and White Photos

This post was originally published on this site

The 1990s were a time of great change in Greater London.

The country started out with a Conservative Government in Downing Street at the beginning and a New Labour government at the end. IRA attacks gave way to the Good Friday Agreement and a new period of peace. Docklands along the Thames that had grown stagnant found new life as economic centres. New construction projects changed the face of the city as the London Eye began to go up in time for the new millennium.
By December 31, 1999, the city would be a completely different place, boldly charging into a new era.
These fascinating black and white photos were taken by Peter Marshall that show street scenes of London in 1991.
