EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of Tower Bridge Road in Bermondsey, London, back in 1900. The image showcases a row of butchers and various other shops lining the avenue, providing a glimpse into the vibrant commercial life of this historic neighborhood. In the middle of the road, a pedestrian's foot is visible as they bravely navigate their way across. However, due to the slow exposure used by the photographer, the rest of their body appears as a blur. The monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from over a century ago. Horse-drawn carts can be seen traversing along the lane, serving as reminders of an era when road transport relied on these majestic animals for movement. Tower Bridge Road was under the jurisdiction of both Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC), showcasing its significance within local governance structures. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this photograph offers us an intriguing window into daily life during that time period – people going about their business amidst towering buildings that still stand today. It serves as a testament to how much our cities have evolved while also reminding us of our shared heritage.
