West Ferry Road, Millwall, East London (circa 1908): A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1908, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past of West Ferry Road in Millwall, East London. The image transports us back in time to the Edwardian era, an era marked by grand architecture, horse-drawn transport, and a strong sense of community. The photograph showcases a bustling street scene, with the pavement teeming with people dressed in fashionable Edwardian attire. The women wear elegant dresses and hats, while the men don suits and bowlers. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, play and frolic in the background. The buildings lining the street are a testament to the architectural beauty of the era. The grandiose facades, adorned with intricate details and ornate decorations, exude an air of elegance and sophistication. The buildings, a mix of residential and commercial properties, are a reflection of the thriving community that once called this street home. The road itself is a hive of activity, with horse-drawn carts and carriages making their way along the cobblestone street. A street sweeper, dressed in his uniform, is seen in the foreground, diligently sweeping the pavement, ensuring the cleanliness of the community. The presence of horses and carts highlights the importance of transport during this era. West Ferry Road was a vital transportation hub, connecting various parts of East London, and this photograph captures the essence of the area's role in the movement of people and goods.
