EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the bustling heart of London's Oxford Street during the Edwardian era. The view looks west, with the iconic Oxenhams Auction Rooms prominently featured on the left-hand side. The red brick building, adorned with intricate architectural details, stands as a testament to the historical significance of the area. As we move further into the scene, a 7 bus, heading towards Liverpool Street, can be seen making its way through the congested traffic. The road is filled with a diverse mix of vehicles, from horse-drawn carriages to motorcars, reflecting the transitional period between old and new modes of transportation. The pavement is a lively scene of activity, with pedestrians hurrying along, some engrossed in conversation while others pause to admire the shop windows. The shops, with their ornate signs and sunblinds, display an array of goods, from Waring's waring to Nestlé's milk, enticing passersby with their offerings. The sun casts a warm glow on the scene, filtering through the windows and casting long shadows on the cobblestone street. The atmosphere is one of excitement and energy, as the city comes alive with the sounds, sights, and smells of a bustling metropolis. This photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of London during the 1910s.
