The Old and the New Rubbing Wheels: A Glimpse into History
Step back in time to 1927 with this print capturing a street scene that beautifully juxtaposes the old and the new. The image features 'The Old Berkeley,' a stage coach operated by Messrs. Claud F. Goddard and Bertram Mills, making its way from London to Box Hill during the summer months.
In an era where automobiles were rapidly becoming the dominant mode of transportation, the sight of a horse-drawn carriage was indeed a rare and picturesque anomaly. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly technology can transform our world, rendering once essential modes of travel obsolete.
The contrast between the traditional coaching days represented by 'The Old Berkeley' and the modern moto vehicles zipping past on the road is striking. It speaks volumes about societal evolution and progress while also highlighting the importance of preserving our historical heritage.
As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages still held sway on our streets, offering us an invaluable glimpse into a bygone era. Let this image serve as a testament to both our past traditions and our ever-changing future.
