London Stone (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes

I visited the Stone on the 19th March 2012 CE. It's now very dimly lit. The entire building empty, a To Let sign hangs from the building. Through the window to the stone I could see abandoned display and merchandising displays, perhaps left behind by the sports shop that last occupied this space. The stone deserves more. Opposite the space aged facade of the new loo Cannon St station, mood lit in comparison to the empty and forgotten space that the stone resides in on the other side of the road. There are barriers and road works currently slightly dividing a symbol of the ancient past and the modern reality of modern commuters passing buy with take away coffee and laptops unaware of the almost hidden stone. If you stop though, even just for a second then you can still spend time at the stone, consider it's past, hope for a better custodian than an empty shop space to let. If the remainder of the stone is still beneath ground level and you believe in the ley line theories by Iain Sinclair and others then this is still a magical place, albeit one that requires as healthy dose of imagination and romantic thought.

London built on the blood of slaves This very interesting article was posted by Digital Digging on Facebook. The Romans as cruel oppressors seems to be written out of history yet totally believable. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-24021618-london-built-with-the-blood-of-british-slaves.do Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

On the move again? "It now appears the the Stone will be on its travels once again, although this time not across the road, but a few doors along. Diamond Geezer, one of the prolific London bloggers, has been delving into the planning application from the owners of the building where the stone now resides:" More here - http://heritageaction.wordpress.com/2011/11/15/the-london-stone-on-the-move-again/ Comments (1)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
