EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, showcasing a vintage scene from Poplar, London during the Victorian period. The image transports us to an era of horse-drawn vehicles, old English inns, and the bustling spirit of community. At the heart of the scene, we find "The Volunteer," a quintessential public house that once stood proudly in Poplar. The pub, adorned with ornate Victorian architecture, is a beacon of warmth and hospitality. The lantern-lit sign, bearing the image of a volunteer soldier, invites passersby to step inside and enjoy a refreshing pint. Beyond the pub, the streets of Poplar come alive with the sights and sounds of the Edwardian era. Horse-drawn buses, laden with passengers, make their way through the cobblestone streets. The horse, hitched to the bus, seems unfazed by the commotion, its calm demeanor a stark contrast to the bustling activity around it. The early 20th century was a time of great change in London, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of its residents. The Volunteer Inn, with its welcoming atmosphere and old-world charm, served as a gathering place for the community, a tradition that continues to this day in many pubs across England. This photograph, a beautiful reminder of the past, invites us to appreciate the history and character of Poplar and London during the Victorian period. It is a treasure from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, a testament to the rich history that lies within the pages of Mary Evans Prints Online.
