Captured by York and Son in the 1890s, it showcases a vibrant scene on Tottenham Court Road, one of the city's most iconic thoroughfares. As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, our eyes are immediately drawn to the foreground where horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians fill every inch of space.

Its grand facade exudes elegance and sophistication, serving as a testament to an era when shopping was an experience steeped in luxury. Transportation plays a significant role in this image; horses effortlessly pull carriages through the busy street, showcasing how integral they were to urban life during that period.
