EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1911, captures the elegant charm of Hagley Road in Edgbaston, Birmingham, during the 1910s. Looking west from Monument Road, the scene is filled with a sense of bustling activity and vibrant energy. On the left, the imposing tower of the Church of the Redeemer stands proudly, its Gothic architecture a testament to the area's rich history and religious heritage. The street is lined with a variety of shops and stores, each adorned with elegant awnings that provide shelter from the elements. Among them, Simpson & Sons Butchers, with its distinctive signage and display of fresh meats, catches the eye. The parade of shops and businesses invites passersby to explore the treasures within, adding to the lively atmosphere. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the charm of local commerce and community spirit were at the heart of everyday life. The period detail, from the horse-drawn carts to the fashionable attire of the people on the street, transports us back in time and invites us to imagine the stories and memories that were made on this bustling Birmingham thoroughfare over a century ago.
