Foster Hairdresser Maison Olde Pedestrians Pubs Shopping Signs Sloane Swan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1912, offers a glimpse into the bustling heart of Sloane Street in London during the 1910s. The image showcases an array of architectural styles, with a mix of grand, imposing buildings and smaller, more modest structures. The street is lined with shops, each displaying their unique wares and enticing customers with intriguing signs. On the right-hand side of the image, the historic Ye Olde Swan pub stands proudly, its distinctive sign bearing the image of a swan, a nod to its long and storied history. Pedestrians can be seen strolling along the pavement, their attention divided between the various shops and the traffic on the road. A horse-drawn carriage and several automobiles add to the scene's sense of vibrancy and energy. One of the shops, with the sign "Maison Foster" above its door, appears to be a hairdresser, suggesting that the area was not only a shopping destination but also a hub for personal grooming and self-care. The presence of cars on the street, a relatively new addition to London's urban landscape at the time, underscores the modernity of the scene. This photograph offers a fascinating window into the past, providing a glimpse into the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of Sloane Street in London during the early 20th century.
