View of The Red Cow public house and adjoining buildings in Prince's Street, Lambeth, near the corner with Salamanca Street. The house with the portico to the left is the former home of Jared Terret Hunt, a soap boiler. The pub dates from the 1780s but was demolished in 1955 when the area became offices, which have since been replaced by a luxury hotel. Photograph by William Strudwick (1834-1910). He recalled: 'I found a good number of subjects in old Lambeth....in this work I was assisted very much by a large dark tent or house on wheels (a home-made one). It had a boarded floor and carried all the working plant, and was large enough for me to stand upright in, with ample elbow room...this tent was drawn by a man, and on arriving at a given point, I could have a plate ready in ten minute'. Strudwick also worked as an architect, artist and writer. He lived for much of his life in Lambeth, but died in the Infirmary at Croydon Workhouse and was buried in the Paupers' Cemetery.
