EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Surbiton, Parkers Ferry' and dated 1907, offers a glimpse into the past of Surbiton, a charming suburb located in the borough of Kingston upon Thames in southwest London. The image, available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the picturesque scene of the historic Parker's Ferry, which once connected the north and south banks of the River Thames. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians making their way across the ferry, while a few boats are anchored in the river. The lush greenery of the surrounding trees and the tranquil water create a serene and idyllic atmosphere. In the background, the elegant houses of Surbiton can be seen, their red tile roofs and white facades reflecting the sun's rays. The ferry, which operated from the late 18th century until the early 20th century, was an essential mode of transportation for the local community. It allowed people to easily cross the river and access the amenities and services on the other side. The ferry also played an important role in the development of Surbiton as a popular residential area, attracting wealthy families seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of London. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history and charm of Surbiton and its Parker's Ferry. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once crossed the river on this very spot, and to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the area as it was over a century ago.
