Ely Place, Holborn: A Historical Snapshot of London's Bygone Traditions (Mary Evans Prints Online) This evocative photograph captures the tranquil and historic Ely Place in Holborn, London, as it once was in the 1930s. The image showcases the picturesque cobblestone street, lined with elegant Georgian houses and tall trees, all bathed in the soft glow of twilight. At the entrance of the place, a Beadle stands guard, ready to close the gateway and call the hours between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. This tradition, deeply rooted in London's history, was once a common practice in many parts of the city. The Beadle, an official appointed to maintain order and enforce local regulations, would ensure that the quiet of the night was preserved, and that the residents of Ely Place could enjoy their peace undisturbed. The sign above the gateway, bearing the inscription "Late" in bold letters, serves as a reminder of the time when the gates would be closed, and entry would no longer be permitted. The image transports us back to a time when traditions were cherished, and the rhythm of life was dictated by the passage of hours. Ely Place, with its rich history and charming character, continues to be a hidden gem in the heart of London. Today, it is a popular destination for visitors seeking a glimpse into the city's past, and a reminder of the traditions that once shaped the lives of its residents. This photograph, a testament to a bygone era, invites us to pause and reflect on the enduring charm and history of this beautiful place.
