EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Cheapside, London in 1896, looking east towards Bow Church. The 19th century city comes alive in this image, filled with a cacophony of sights, sounds, and smells. The streets are a hive of activity, with horses and carts, carriages, and omnibuses jostling for space on the narrow roads. The clatter of hooves and the creaking of wheels add to the symphony of urban life. Shops and businesses line the streets, their awnings providing shelter from the elements for both customers and goods. The air is thick with the smell of coal and horse manure, a testament to the city's reliance on horse-drawn transport. The lamps and lighting along the streets add a sense of warmth and coziness, illuminating the way for pedestrians and drivers alike. Bow Church stands proudly on the right-hand side of the image, its spire reaching towards the heavens. The church, with its intricate Gothic architecture, is a reminder of the city's rich history and religious traditions. The scene is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when London was a city of horse-drawn transport, bustling streets, and thriving commerce. The photograph invites us to step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of 1890s London.
