Westminster Abbey, London, UK

The organ at Westminster Abbey is surely on of the most "heard" instruments in the world, thanks to the number of events televised from that locale. The instrument was installed in 1937 by Harrison and Harrison, including some pipework from the William Hill organ in the Abbey since 1848. The earliest reference to an organ in the abbey mentions the year 1304. Significant changes took place in 1982, while the console was reworked in 2006.  Harrison's has provided a detailed specification.

My card is a straight-ahead shot of the choir area looking across the screen toward the west end. The organ cases are visible on both ends of the screen area. My card is black/white and is unused.
