EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a horse-drawn bus, one of the last remaining relics of London's historic transport system. Circa 1905, this image showcases the quintessential charm of an era long past, as the horse-drawn vehicle makes its way over London Bridge, connecting Elephant & Castle and Hackney Downs. The bridge, a testament to London's architectural grandeur, frames the scene perfectly, as the horse bus passes beneath its arches. The horse, harnessed and determined, leads the way, its breath visible in the crisp morning air. Passengers, bundled up against the cold, gaze out of the open windows, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling city. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into London's history, a time when horse-drawn buses were the primary mode of transportation. The horse bus, with its distinctive design and charming horsepower, was a common sight on the streets of London until the advent of motorized buses in the early 20th century. The Elephant & Castle, a historic area in South London, serves as the starting point of this journey, while Hackney Downs, a large park in the north of the city, marks the destination. The route, which crossed the iconic London Bridge, would have taken passengers through some of the most iconic and historic parts of the city. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for history buffs, transport enthusiasts, and anyone with a love for the rich history of London. A beautiful addition to any home or office, it is a reminder of a bygone era, a time when travel was a leisurely experience, and the journey was just as important as the destination.
