EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Willis & Son newsagents, located at 28 Lime Street in the heart of East London, circa 1915. The image transports us to a bygone era, showcasing the charm and character of the local community during the 1910s. The shop front, adorned with the distinctive sign of Willis & Son, proudly displays the various services offered: newsagents, booksellers, and stationers. The display window is filled with an intriguing assortment of goods, from newspapers and magazines to books and writing materials. The men in the photograph, likely the proprietors or employees, are engrossed in their tasks, adding to the bustling atmosphere. Posters and headlines from the time period are prominently displayed on the wall, reflecting the news and events that shaped the world during this era. A blockade, as indicated by the headline, was a common occurrence during this time and would have significantly impacted the daily lives of the community. The doorway invites passersby to enter, and the pavement outside is filled with activity, as people go about their business or engage in conversation. The scene is a testament to the importance of local newsagents in providing essential services and fostering a sense of community. This evocative photograph, taken by Terry Parker, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the rich history and character of East London during the 1910s.
