Road Accident, Calabria Road, Islington, London, 1925 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history - a road accident on Calabria Road in Islington, London back in 1925. The image showcases the aftermath of the incident as an attentive crowd gathers around the scene while paramedics from the London County Council attend to an injured victim on a stretcher. The photograph provides us with a unique window into life during the early 20th century. The vintage cars parked nearby and curious onlookers dressed in their period costumes transport us back to this bygone era. It is fascinating to see how emergency services operated at that time, with an LCC ambulance rushing to provide aid. Located within Greater London Council's jurisdiction, Islington was bustling even then. The buildings lining both sides of Calabria Road stand witness to this unfortunate event. This historical document is preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's London County Council Photograph Library. As we reflect upon this snapshot from our past, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come regarding road safety and emergency response systems. Let us appreciate the progress made since then while honoring those who dedicated themselves to helping others during times of crisis.
