EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling scene outside Davison Newman & co in Creechurch Lane, London around 1920. The English photographer skillfully captured the essence of this era, showcasing a snapshot of daily life in the city. The image showcases a horse-drawn cart parked outside the grocery store, with traders busy unloading bags using a winch and crane system. The pulley and crank mechanisms are visible, highlighting the labor-intensive process of lifting heavy loads during that time. The storefront itself is adorned with an eye-catching sign displaying three metal sugar loaves topped by a crown, symbolizing that tea was sold at this establishment. This traditional emblem served as an advertisement to passersby. Davison Newman & co had been taken over by the West Indian Produce Association in 1910, adding historical significance to this photograph. It offers us a glimpse into the thriving business world of merchants and wholesalers dealing in coffee, wines, spirits, cigars - all prominently displayed inside. The facade of the shop stands out against its surroundings on Creechurch Lane's street scene. This image from a private collection evokes nostalgia for an era long gone but not forgotten.
