EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Poultry, a short street nestled in the heart of the City of London. Dating back to the early 1900s, circa 1903, this photograph offers a glimpse into the historic nucleus and modern financial centre of London during an era of great transformation. The cobblestone street, lined with Victorian-era buildings, exudes an air of charm and history. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians navigate the narrow passageway, while the vibrant colors of the shops and market stalls add a lively energy to the scene. The intricate architectural details of the buildings, with their ornate brickwork and decorative facades, showcase the craftsmanship and artistry of a bygone era. The bustling atmosphere of Poultry stands in stark contrast to the quiet, serene streets that once defined the City of London. This bustling hub was an essential part of the city's commercial and social fabric, serving as a hub for trade and commerce. The street's name, Poultry, is believed to have originated from the Middle English word "poultrie," meaning young fowl, reflecting the area's historical association with the poultry market. This photograph offers a rare and enchanting glimpse into London's rich history, transporting us back to a time of horse-drawn carriages, bustling markets, and the vibrant energy of a thriving urban center. With its intriguing history, beautiful architecture, and lively atmosphere, Poultry remains an essential piece of London's enduring legacy.
