EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse of Stepney's rich architectural history in the 1870s. The image showcases East Mount Terrace, located in Tower Hamlets, Greater London. Standing proudly at the junction with Raven Row, this row of terraced houses exudes timeless elegance and charm. Constructed back in 1822, these Georgian-style houses were once home to countless families who experienced life amidst Victorian London. The intricate wooden shutters adorning each window add a touch of character to the façade, while the uniformity of design creates a harmonious streetscape. Sadly, time has taken its toll on these historic dwellings as they have been demolished since this photograph was taken. Today, East Mount Street stands where this vibrant terrace once stood tall. However, thanks to Mitchell's expert lens and Historic England's preservation efforts through prints like this one, we can still appreciate and learn from our past. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that architecture not only shapes our physical surroundings but also tells stories of generations gone by. This image encapsulates an era when community thrived within these walls and residents embraced the beauty of their surroundings. Let us cherish such glimpses into history and honor those who came before us by preserving our architectural heritage for future generations to admire and draw inspiration from.
