EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Reading Broad Street in the early 1900s, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage photograph transports us to a bygone era, filled with the charm and character of Victorian and Edwardian England. Located in the heart of Berkshire, England, Reading Broad Street is a bustling hub of activity in this image. Horse-drawn carriages and trams share the narrow cobblestone streets with pedestrians, creating a lively scene of transportation in the early 20th century. The trams, with their distinctive designs and colorful livery, add a pop of vibrancy to the monochrome photograph. The architecture of the buildings lining the street is a testament to the rich history of Reading. The intricate details of the brickwork, the tall, narrow windows, and the ornate cornices are all reminiscent of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The street is also adorned with lampposts, adding a sense of warmth and coziness to the scene. Despite the hustle and bustle of the street, there is a sense of peace and tranquility in the photograph. The horse-drawn carriages, with their gentle clopping of hooves, add to the serene atmosphere. The people in the photograph, dressed in their Victorian and Edwardian finery, go about their daily business, oblivious to the passing of time. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past and a glimpse into the history of Reading Broad Street. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in vintage photography, English history, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty of a bygone era.
