EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this exquisite real photographic postcard capturing the charm of High Street, Barnes, West London, in 1911. The image showcases a picturesque scene of the bustling street, with its quaint shops and elegant horse-drawn vehicles. On the left side of the image, a smartly-appointed carriage with two finely-dressed coachmen and a single horse gracefully make their way down the cobblestone street. The coachmen, in their distinctive uniforms and outfits, add an air of sophistication and elegance to the scene. The carriage, with its polished wood and intricate details, is a testament to the opulence of the era. Behind the carriage, a horse bus, or omnibus, is visible, ready to transport passengers to their destinations. The horse bus, with its wide seats and open sides, was a common mode of transportation in the early 20th century, offering a more affordable alternative to private carriages. On the right side of the street, an ironmonger's shop catches the eye. The shop, filled with an array of baths, buckets, and watering cans, is a hive of activity. The shopkeeper, likely busy serving customers, is not visible in the image, but the wide selection of goods on display speaks to the shop's popularity and importance in the community. This photograph, taken in 1911, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the charm and elegance of High Street, Barnes, West London, during a bygone era.
