St Mary Woolnoth, Amen Court and the old Dr Butler's Head in Mason's Avenue are among the quiet corners of the City of London in these photographs by Gorse, published as book illustrations in Wonderful London, edited by St John Adcock, in 1926. The churches also include St Nicholas Cole Abbey, St Vedast, St Helen's Bishopsgate, St Mary Abchurch and St Michael Cornhill, with doorways, tombs and chancels as well as wider views, and the plane tree at the corner of Cheapside and Wood Street makes another subject. Together they record the older fabric surviving among the City's commercial streets.
