Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This expanded and greatly enlarged edition of Philip Davies's 2009 book Lost London 1870-1945 was made possible because the long exposure times of plate photography resulted in such extraordinary depth of detail.
Commissioned by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London and the London County Council, with the quixotic aim of preserving the city's rapidly changing landscape, these panoramic street scenes have a vivid but haunting quality; glimpses of a vanished world.
