EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in the 1910s, a group of delivery drivers are seen outside the goods entrance of D.H. Evans department store on Oxford Street in London. The men, dressed in their uniforms complete with peaked caps, are busy loading and unloading goods from their vans. The scene is one of hustle and activity, as the drivers work efficiently to ensure the smooth running of the store's operations. The imposing building of D.H. Evans department store looms in the background, its grand facade a testament to the prosperity and growth of retail businesses during this period. The road is bustling with activity, with other delivery vehicles and horse-drawn carts making their way along the busy street. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of delivery drivers during the early 20th century. The image also highlights the importance of transportation and logistics in the retail industry, even in the early days of department store shopping. Despite the passage of time, the scene captured in this photograph remains remarkably familiar, with the hustle and bustle of delivery drivers and the importance of efficient transportation continuing to be a crucial aspect of retail operations to this day. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of retail and transportation in London and beyond, and a testament to the enduring nature of these industries.
