EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Youngs Corner, Goldhawk Road, Chiswick: A Glimpse into the Past This pencil drawing, later hand-tinted in the 1900s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Old Youngs Corner on Goldhawk Road in Chiswick, near Hammersmith, County of London, England. The scene transports us back in time to the late 1800s, where the bustling streets of this historic area come to life. At the heart of the drawing lies Old Youngs Corner, a prominent intersection where Goldhawk Road meets the busy thoroughfare of Chiswick High Road. The corner is named after the Old Youngs public house, which once stood proudly on the site, serving as a popular watering hole for locals and travelers alike. The drawing reveals a vibrant and lively scene, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians navigating the cobblestone streets. The intricate details of the buildings, from their ornate facades to their ornamental window frames, showcase the architectural charm of the era. The use of hand-tinting adds a splash of color to the black-and-white pencil drawing, bringing the scene to life and capturing the essence of a bygone era. The presence of the horse-drawn omnibus, a common mode of transportation during this time, further emphasizes the historical significance of the image. The omnibus, which can be seen making its way down Goldhawk Road, would have carried passengers from Chiswick to Hammersmith and beyond, connecting the community to the larger city of London. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within the streets of Chiswick and the County of London. Old Youngs Corner, once a bustling hub of activity, now stands as a testament to the past, inviting us to explore the stories and memories that have shaped this fascinating corner of London's history.
