Légende

Whitehall, City of Westminster, Greater London Authority, 1911. A view of a pair of columns surmounted by statues outside the Cabinet Office and Treasury on Whitehall, with traffic and pedestrians in the road. Taken to show coronation decorations in London. The photographer refers to the columns as 'Ontario Pillars' probably due to 'Ontario' appearing at the the top of the columns, but postcards of the time refer to them as 'Canadian Column'. The columns were erected to celebrate the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary on 22nd June 1911.
