EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of Putney in 1885. The image captures a vibrant scene on Putney High Street, with its gaze directed towards the iconic bridge that connects this historic London borough. The photographer skillfully frames the shot, showcasing a lively procession of horse-drawn carriages traversing the street. Each carriage exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, transporting us to a bygone era where such modes of transportation were commonplace. In the foreground, we are presented with Langston & Sons, an establishment that stands proudly on this busy thoroughfare. Its front elevation adds character to the composition while hinting at the diverse range of businesses that once lined these streets. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that time has transformed Putney High Street significantly. Yet, through this remarkable print preserved by English Photographer and housed within London Metropolitan Archives' collection, we can still appreciate its former glory. This evocative photograph is not just a visual record; it serves as a portal into our past—a testament to how much our cities have evolved over time. It allows us to reflect upon our shared heritage and marvel at how far we have come since those days when horse-drawn carriages graced these very streets.
