EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Hyde Park Corner in Westminster, London. The image captures a moment around 1900, showcasing a vibrant scene filled with horse-drawn traffic and architectural marvels. In the foreground stands the magnificent Hyde Park Corner screen, an elegant structure designed by Decimus Burton. Its intricate details and imposing presence command attention as it guards the entrance to Hyde Park. Just beyond it lies Apsley House, now known as the Wellington Museum. This grand building proudly stands at the end of Piccadilly, its neighbors long gone but leaving behind their mark on history. The photograph offers a glimpse into daily life during this era. Horse-drawn buses and trade carts dominate the streets, transporting people and goods through this busy intersection. The atmosphere is alive with energy as pedestrians navigate their way amidst this organized chaos. Through Carl Norman's lens, we are transported to a time when urban landscapes were defined by majestic architecture and bustling activity rather than modern vehicles or skyscrapers. This image from Historic England Archive serves not only as a visual record but also as a reminder of how much our cities have evolved over time while still retaining glimpses of their rich pasts.
