Great footage here on a BBC blog article THE DOWNFALL OF A PRESS BARON – the end of Cecil King at the Mirror – watch the footage at the foot of the article for some wonderful Fleet Street newsrooms !

Why is it important?

At the turn of the 20th century, there was vast growth in press agencies and photographers due to the massive thirst for images in newspapers. Many are still in existence but others have been sold, absorbed or simply disappeared, effectively leaving gaps in the history of this industry… many agency offices were bombed during the WWII London Blitz resulting negative and print files being water damage from the hoses quenching the fires …most archives were in the building basements.
