EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Gresham Street in London during the 1920s. The view showcases a historic landmark, Pickfords Removals Ltd, located at No 57. Interestingly, this building was once home to the renowned Swan with Two Necks Inn on Lad Lane. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we can't help but imagine the vibrant atmosphere that must have filled these city streets. The monochrome tones add a timeless charm to the scene, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance of Gresham Street. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery has preserved this remarkable image for future generations to admire. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while still retaining echoes of their past. This photograph captures an era when horse-drawn carriages were gradually being replaced by motor vehicles, symbolizing progress and modernization. While gazing upon this picture print, one can almost hear the sounds of footsteps echoing through Gresham Street's cobblestone pavement and envision people going about their daily lives in early 20th-century London. It is a testament to our collective heritage and reminds us that every street corner holds stories waiting to be discovered.
