EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Wandsworth High Street, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The view looking northwest from the bridge over River Wandle reveals a bustling street scene filled with vibrant shops and horse-drawn transport. Standing proudly in the right foreground is The Bull public house, an iconic landmark that has witnessed decades of history unfold. The image transports us to Victorian London, where urban life thrived amidst charming architecture and lively streets. Advertisements for various products adorn shopfronts, including one for Sunivalla tea, evoking a sense of nostalgia for long-forgotten brands. As we delve into this snapshot from before 1910, it becomes evident that this photograph holds more than just aesthetic appeal; it encapsulates the spirit of community and social gathering. The presence of The Bull public house signifies its role as not only an inn but also a meeting place for locals to unwind after a long day's work. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print offers us a glimpse into the past while reminding us of our shared heritage. It serves as a testament to how much our cities have evolved over time yet still retain echoes of their historical roots.
