EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of a Norfolk Coach parked outside Leadenhall Market in London on Christmas Eve, 1845. The Norfolk Coach, a horse-drawn stage, was a common sight on the streets of London during the 1840s, providing essential transportation links between the capital and the rural counties. However, the advent of the railway system had begun to make horse-drawn coaches a relic of the past. In this photograph, the Norfolk Coach is shown collecting meat and game from the bustling market, its doors thrown open to reveal the interior filled with eager buyers. The market, with its intricate iron and glass architecture, is a hive of activity, as vendors call out to passing customers and bargains are struck. Despite the encroaching modernity of the railway age, the Norfolk Coach continued to play a vital role in the transportation of perishable goods, particularly during the festive season when fresh meat and game were in high demand. The coach's journey to Norfolk would have been a long and arduous one, but the promise of a succulent Christmas feast made it a worthwhile endeavour. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when horse-drawn coaches were the primary means of long-distance travel and the hustle and bustle of the market was the heartbeat of urban life. The Norfolk Coach outside Leadenhall Market on Christmas Eve, 1845, is a snapshot of history that continues to captivate and inspire.
