Description
Amen Corner lies at the junction of Paternoster Row and Ave Maria Lane, just to the west of St Paul's Cathedral in the City of London.
<br />
<br />The area was notable as the site of the Royal College of Physicians until it was burnt down in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
<br />
<br />The modern Amen Corner is a stub of road that leads to Amen Court, home to the canons of the cathedral where the first meeting of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was held in 1958.
<br />
<br />My family and I went into London one day to have a look around, and as usual, I took my trusty camera with me. This street sign leapt out at me as I knew of the band by the same name; I hadn't realised that the location had such a history!
<br />
<br />I substantially altered the colour and contrast of this photograph, using Photobucket to give it a "Pop Art" effect.
