EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Old Shops on Cripplegate, London, circa 1905. This image transports us to an era long past, showcasing a vibrant and bustling street scene that has since vanished. At the forefront of the photograph, we find a row of quaint shops, each with their unique character and charm. Among them, H.B. Bentley, Tie and Scarf Manufacturers, proudly displays their wares, inviting passersby to browse their selection. McBlain Newton Co, the bakers for the Aerated Bread Company, entices us with the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked goods wafting from their shop. In the distance, the Somerset Pub, a public house, tavern, or inn, stands as a social hub for the community. The pub's inviting facade and cozy ambiance would have provided respite and camaraderie for locals and travelers alike. Sadly, these historic buildings, rich in history and character, have all but disappeared. Today, they form part of the Barbican Centre, now known as Wood Street. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the stories and memories that once filled these spaces. The charm of Old Shops on Cripplegate, London, continues to captivate us, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of daily life held great significance. This image is a testament to the enduring power of photography to preserve history and evoke emotion.
