EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of London's history from December 28, 1973 - a horse-drawn brewer's dray belonging to the Whitbread brewery making its way through Whitehall. The majestic white and dappled horses are harnessed to the wooden dray, pulling barrels of beer through the bustling streets of London.
The scene is filled with nostalgia as we see the skilled driver guiding his team of horses along the road, delivering their precious cargo to local establishments. The sight of this traditional mode of transport against the backdrop of historic buildings and Parliament creates a timeless image that transports us back to a bygone era.
The Whitbread brewery has been an integral part of London's brewing industry for centuries, and this print serves as a reminder of their contribution to the city's rich heritage. The men involved in this trade were not just delivery drivers but also craftsmen dedicated to their profession.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from 1973, we are reminded of how much has changed in our modern world while also appreciating the enduring traditions that have shaped our past. This print is not just a visual representation but also a glimpse into the history and culture that make up the fabric of London.
