EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from the 1930s, captured in the bustling High Road of Croydon, Surrey. Through the windshield of a parked car, we witness an intriguing snapshot of everyday life. The scene is a vibrant tableau of activity, with a postman in his distinctive red uniform pedaling his bicycle along the pavement, balancing a mailbag on the crossbar. In the background, a tram glides smoothly along the tracks, its advertisements and bells adding to the sense of movement and energy. The car's steering wheel and dashboard, adorned with a myriad of gauges and knobs, are a testament to the technological advancements of the era. The driver's side window is rolled down, allowing a breeze to flow through the vehicle. The scene is bathed in soft, natural light, casting long, dappled shadows on the cobblestone street. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the interplay of various modes of transportation and the daily routines of the people of Croydon. The image is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a more leisurely pace and the simple pleasures of a postman delivering mail or a tram ride through town were cherished experiences.
