Jack Straw's Castle: A Glimpse into Edwardian Life in Hampstead, NW London This photograph, taken circa 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past of Hampstead, an affluent area in North West London. The image, titled 'Jack Straw's Castle,' showcases a breathtaking view of the area, with its picturesque pub or public house of the same name nestled among the rolling hills and lush greenery. The pub, which dates back to the 17th century, is a popular local landmark, and its name is believed to originate from the tradition of local farmers placing a straw on their hats to signify their status as 'Jack Straws' men – supporters of the English revolutionary leader, Jack Cade, during the 15th century. In this photograph, we see a horse-drawn cart making its way up the hill towards the Castle, with two men in Edwardian attire and a well-dressed woman and her dog in tow. The men appear to be engaged in a lively conversation, while the woman seems to be enjoying the scenic journey. The pub's red-roofed structure stands proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills, with its inviting sign and welcoming lights beckoning travelers and locals alike. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the charm and beauty of Hampstead during the Edwardian era. The horse-drawn cart, the men in their formal attire, and the woman with her elegant dress and pet dog all contribute to a sense of nostalgia and wonder, making this photograph a true treasure for anyone interested in the history and culture of London.
