Triumphal Arch Moved from Hyde Park to Constitution Hill, c1935. Creator: Unknown

Triumphal Arch Moved from Hyde Park to Constitution Hill, c1935. View of the Wellington Arch, a triumphal arch in central London. It was designed by Decimus Burton and built 1826-1830, and once supported an equestrian statue of the 1st Duke of Wellington. This was removed when the arch was dismantled and re-erected between 1883 and 1888. Hyde Park Corner had become notorious for traffic jams, and a new road layout required the arch to be relocated. The sculpture of the quadriga, an ancient four-horse chariot, was designed by Adrian Jones and has been mounted on the Arch since 1912. The southern pier was used as a park-keeper?s residence and the northern pier as a police station. From " Wonderful London, Volume 2", edited by Arthur St John Adcock. [The Fleetway House, London, c1935]
