View of Surbiton High Street taken from the railway station. November 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Bernard Alfieri takes us back to a bustling scene in Surbiton, England during the autumn of 1938. From the vantage point of the railway station, we are transported to a time when trolleybuses roamed the streets and life moved at a slightly slower pace. The image captures an array of shops and establishments that lined Surbiton High Street, each with its own unique charm. The iconic Lowes the Chemist stands proudly on one corner, while nearby we spot a traditional police box serving as a reminder of law enforcement in those times. A pub exudes warmth and camaraderie as locals gather for their daily dose of community spirit. Spires and Pond, known for its quality goods, catches our eye with its inviting storefront display. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that this street was not just about commerce but also served as a hub for social interaction. London's suburbs come alive through this photograph; it encapsulates both the vibrancy and tranquility that defined these residential areas during the thirties. The crisp November air adds an ethereal touch to this street scene. Bernard Alfieri's lens has captured more than just buildings; he has immortalized an era filled with nostalgia and simplicity. This print is truly a window into another time - reminding us how much things have changed
