EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Stratford Road in Plaistow, London, as it appeared in August 1910. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the bustling atmosphere of the historic marketplace, with vendors setting up their stalls and engaging with customers. The road, now a major thoroughfare in the East End of London, is transformed into a vibrant hub of trade and commerce. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Plaistow and its market culture, which can be traced back to the 13th century. The area was once known for its agricultural produce, with farmers bringing their goods to sell at the weekly market. Over time, the market expanded to include a wider variety of goods, attracting merchants from across the city and beyond. Despite the passage of time, the spirit of the market remains alive and well in Plaistow. Today, the area is home to a diverse community, with a rich cultural heritage and a thriving market scene. The photograph serves as a reminder of the area's past, while also highlighting its enduring character and resilience. The image also offers a fascinating insight into the daily life of Londoners over a century ago. The marketgoers, dressed in their Sunday best, can be seen haggling over prices, exchanging greetings, and enjoying the lively atmosphere. The horse-drawn carts and bicycles add to the sense of nostalgia and remind us of a time before cars and mass transportation. This photograph is not only a valuable historical document, but also a testament to the enduring power of community and trade. It invites us to reflect on the past, while also celebrating the vibrant and diverse present of Plaistow and its marketplace.
