1880s Horse Drawn Transport House Lamp Post Shop Urban Victorian Late 19th Century Traps
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Putney High Street in the late 19th century. Taken by William O Field, this image showcases a bustling urban scene filled with historical charm and Victorian elegance. From the lower end of Putney High Street, one's gaze is immediately drawn to Betts Butcher's shop at number 15 on the left. Its quaint storefront stands as a testament to a bygone era when local businesses were at the heart of every community. The horse-drawn transport passing by further transports us back in time, reminding us of an age before cars dominated our streets. The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable. A lamp post gracefully illuminates the street corner while J Kenchington Tea Warehouse proudly displays its name on a nearby building. These small elements add depth and character to an already picturesque scene. Reproduced as Fig. 30 in William Field's renowned collection "Photographs of Putney" compiled by Dorian Gerhold and Michael Bull for the Wandsworth Historical Society, this image serves as both a visual delight and an invaluable historical document. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how much has changed while also appreciating how certain aspects have stood the test of time. It is through photographs like these that we can truly appreciate our rich heritage and gain insight into life during that era.
