Lot Essay

To the right of the picture stands the Lion Brewery, demolished for the building of the Festival of Britain, and site of the present Royal Festival Hall. The coad stone lion seen on the top of the building now stands at the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge. To the left of the brewery stands a shot tower for the making of gunpowder.
