1879 Churchyard Refreshments Tearoom Temperance Mcdougalls
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene outside McDougalls Peoples Café in St. Paul's Churchyard, London, during the late Victorian era of 1879. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past as people go about their daily lives. The Temperance movement, which advocated for the reduction of alcohol consumption, was gaining popularity during this period. As a result, establishments like McDougalls Peoples Café, which offered non-alcoholic refreshments, became increasingly common. This café, located in the heart of London, was a popular destination for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The photograph shows a bustling street scene, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way through the crowded Churchyard. The café itself is located to the right of the image, its red awning extending out onto the pavement. Customers can be seen sitting at tables outside, enjoying their tea and other non-alcoholic beverages and treats. The Cathedral looms in the background, its spires reaching towards the sky. The historical significance of this scene is further emphasized by the presence of the ancient St. Paul's Churchyard, which has been a marketplace and gathering place since medieval times. This photograph offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of London in the late 1800s. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that have shaped our city over the centuries.
