EDITORS COMMENTS
Tottenham Court Road: A Peek into the Past (circa 1900) Step back in time with this photograph of Tottenham Court Road in London, England, as it appeared around the turn of the 20th century. The bustling street is filled with a sense of history and charm, as horse-drawn vehicles dominate the scene. In the foreground, a horse bus, pulled by a team of two horses, is making its way along the cobblestone road. The passengers inside seem unfazed by the horse's pace, perhaps lost in thought or deep in conversation. Nearby, a hansom cab, also drawn by a single horse, waits patiently for its next fare. The photograph was taken outside the premises of Shoolbreds, a well-known name in the area during this time. Though the specific purpose of Shoolbreds is unknown, it is clear that the business was an integral part of the community. The building's facade, with its ornate details and large windows, stands out among the other structures in the photograph. The horse buses and hansoms were common modes of transportation in London during the late 1800s and early 1900s. They provided an affordable and accessible means of travel for the working class, making them an essential part of the city's infrastructure. The horse buses could carry more passengers than the hansoms, making them a popular choice for families and larger groups. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Londoners during a time of great change. The arrival of motorized vehicles was just around the corner, and the horse-drawn vehicles would soon become relics of the past. Today, Tottenham Court Road is a bustling hub of commerce and transportation, but this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history that lies beneath its modern surface.
