EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Covent Garden CXP01_01_157" takes us back to the bustling streets of Covent Garden in the 1930s. The image captures a vibrant scene as market traders diligently set up their stalls for the day's trade outside St Pauls Church. A horse-drawn cart gracefully navigates through the busy market, adding an element of nostalgia and charm. The photograph beautifully showcases the essence of Covent Garden as a hub for trade and commerce during this era. Crates filled with fresh fruits and vegetables are neatly stacked alongside carts, ready to be sold to eager customers. The street is alive with activity, with people going about their daily routines amidst this lively atmosphere. Charles William Prickett skillfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also manages to convey a sense of community spirit that thrived within these streets. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when markets were at the heart of local life, where conversations flowed freely between traders and customers alike. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Historic England's collection, we can't help but appreciate how it transports us back in time – reminding us of simpler days when horse-drawn transport was still prevalent on London's streets. It serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and offers a glimpse into an era long gone but forever cherished.
