EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Charles William Prickett takes us back to the bustling streets of St Mary at Hill in the 1930s. The image showcases a vibrant street scene, with handcarts loaded with crates dominating the foreground. As we gaze towards the north, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent St Mary Pattens Church on Rood Lane. St Mary at Hill, located in the heart of City of London, was a hub for trade and commerce during this era. Its close proximity to both the River Thames and Billingsgate Fish Market made it an ideal location for fish salesmen and warehouses. In this snapshot of history, we catch a glimpse of their daily activities as they transport their goods through these lively streets. Prickett's composition skillfully captures not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into everyday life during that time period. The contrast between old buildings lining St Mary at Hill and modern handcarts filled with crates creates a fascinating juxtaposition. As we admire this photograph print from Historic England, let us appreciate how it encapsulates a moment frozen in time – where tradition meets progress amidst a thriving commercial district.
