EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of Glasgow in the 1870s. The image captures Old Vennel, a narrow alleyway tucked away off High Street, revealing a glimpse into the city's architectural and social history. Scottish photographer Thomas Annan skillfully frames this scene from his renowned collection, "The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow". In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness rows of modest houses lining both sides of the street. These tenements tell a story of an era marked by poverty and challenging living conditions for many residents. The Victorian-style buildings stand as a testament to the city's past, showcasing their intricate details even amidst their dilapidated state. As we explore further into this image, we can almost imagine ourselves walking through these cobbled streets alongside the local community that once thrived here. It is evident that life was tough for those who called Old Vennel home during this period. Thomas Annan's photographic talent allows us to peer into history with remarkable clarity. Through his lens, he captures not only bricks and mortar but also emotions etched on faces hidden within these walls. This photograph serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while retaining glimpses of their past lives within every corner. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own communities today and appreciate how far we have come since those days captured by Annan's lens in 19th-century Glasgow.
