EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a W H Smith delivery van and its driver, making their way through the bustling streets of the West Midlands in the early 1910s. The van, proudly displaying the logo of W H Smith & Son, Newsagents and Stationers, is a testament to the company's rich history in the retail industry. Covering the towns of Walsall, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham, this delivery vehicle was a familiar sight on the pavements and roads of the region. The driver, dressed in a smart uniform, expertly maneuvers the van to the curb, ready to unload the latest news and stationery items for eager customers. The van's design, with its distinctive green and red livery, is reminiscent of the Edwardian era, a time of great change and progress. The head office of W H Smith & Son was located in the heart of London, on the Strand, and this delivery van would have been just one of many making their way across the city and its surrounding areas, bringing the latest news and stationery to the doorsteps of the community. The image captures a moment in time, providing a glimpse into the past and the vital role that local newsagents and stationers played in the daily lives of people during the early 20th century. This photograph is a treasure trove of historical detail, perfect for anyone with an interest in transport history, social history, or the evolution of retail in the UK.
