1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Romford South Street in the Early 1900s Description: Step back in time with this photograph of Romford South Street in the early 1900s, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage image offers a unique window into the history of Romford, a town located in the London Borough of Havering, England. The photograph showcases the bustling street scene during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, a time of significant growth and development for Romford. The cobblestone road is filled with horse-drawn carriages and wagons, their wheels leaving distinct marks in the muddy ground. The horseman in the foreground, dressed in a top hat and long coat, adds to the period's authenticity. On the left side of the street, a group of people can be seen gathered in front of a shop, likely engaged in conversation or waiting for someone. A few women in fashionable Edwardian dresses and hats can be spotted, their elegance and refinement a stark contrast to the rough, textured surroundings. The buildings along Romford South Street are a mix of architectural styles, with some displaying ornate brickwork and others featuring half-timbered facades. A few shops and businesses can be identified, including a butcher's, a baker's, and a grocer's. The presence of these establishments underscores the importance of local commerce during this era. Despite the passage of over a century, this photograph retains a powerful ability to transport us back to a time when horse-drawn vehicles ruled the streets and everyday life unfolded in the heart of Romford's historic South Street.
