EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bedford Lemere and Company, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Greater London in May 1910. The Salisbury Hotel stands tall and proud as a group of individuals strike a pose outside its magnificent portico. This snapshot from the Edwardian era offers us a glimpse into the lives of these stylishly dressed men and women, frozen in time. The architectural brilliance of R G Kirkby is evident in every intricate detail of the Salisbury Hotel's design. Its grandeur serves as a testament to the opulence that defined this era. As we admire this image, we can't help but imagine what stories lie behind each face in the photograph – perhaps they were guests enjoying an afternoon tea or locals passing by on their daily routines. Bedford Lemere and Company expertly capture not only the physical beauty of buildings but also the essence of human life within them. Their skillful lens transports us through time, allowing us to witness moments long gone yet forever preserved on film. This remarkable print from Historic England invites us to reflect upon our shared history and appreciate how architecture has shaped our society throughout generations. It reminds us that even though times may change, there will always be timeless elegance etched into our urban landscapes for future generations to marvel at.
