EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Strand, looking west," transports us back in time to London in the year 1901. Captured by an unidentified photographer and now part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, this image offers a rare glimpse into the historical fabric of England's bustling capital city over a century ago. The Strand, a major road in central London, is depicted as a bustling hub of activity. Horse-drawn carriages and omnibuses share the narrow, cobblestone streets with pedestrians, while the iconic red double-decker bus makes an early appearance. The buildings along the Strand are a fascinating blend of architectural styles, from the ornate facade of the Savoy-Plaza Hotel on the left to the more modest structures further down the road. In the background, the imposing figure of the Savoy Palace can be seen, a reminder of the area's rich history. The Savoy Palace was a royal palace that once stood on the site where the Savoy Theatre now stands. It was demolished in the late 18th century and replaced by the Savoy Hotel, which is still in operation today. The photograph also reveals the vibrant street life of the time, with street vendors selling their wares, children playing, and people going about their daily business. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, a stark contrast to the quiet, orderly streets we are accustomed to today. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, offering us a glimpse into the history and character of London during a time of great change. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of the city as it was over a century ago, making it a must-see for anyone with an interest in London's history or the history of urban life in general.
