EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken circa 1905, captures the bustling corner of Gillingham Street and Hindon Street in Victoria, London. The scene is a snapshot of Edwardian life, with the terraced buildings lining the narrow streets and the pavement filled with people going about their daily business. At the heart of the image is a corner shop, its signage a colorful mosaic of logos for Coope, Kennaway, Gandy, Bishop, and Ind Coope. These were all prominent breweries of the time, and the shop likely sold beer, wine, and spirits to the local community. The shopkeepers, dressed in their Sunday best, can be seen through the window, tending to their wares. The terraced buildings, with their ornate brickwork and intricate details, are a testament to the architectural beauty of the era. The street scene is alive with activity, with people milling about, children playing, and horses and carts making their way along the cobblestone streets. Despite the passage of time, this photograph transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling streets of Victoria, London during the early 1900s.
