EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Eastferry Road freeing from lott, 1885" takes us back to a bygone era in London's history. Captured by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is now preserved at the London Metropolitan Archives. The photo depicts Eastferry Road, a bustling thoroughfare that was once part of Poplar, Metropolitan Borough of Tower Hamlets. In the foreground, we see a barrier separating pedestrians from the road as they patiently wait for it to be freed from its current state. At the front of the scene stand police officers overseeing this process. The absence of color allows us to focus on the details and textures within this snapshot frozen in time. The non-habitable structures lining both sides of Eastferry Road hint at a developing society undergoing rapid changes during this period. Transportation plays a significant role in this composition; turnpikes and toll bars are visible further down the road. These elements remind us of how travel was regulated and controlled in earlier times. As we delve into this photograph's historical significance, it becomes clear that it captures not only a specific moment but also provides insight into broader themes such as urban development and societal transformation. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to photography's ability to transport us across time and immerse ourselves in different eras.
