EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Aldersgate, London in the early 19th century. The front view of these magnificent buildings on Aldersgate Street, possibly captured around 1820, offers a glimpse into the vibrant city life of that era. The Half Moon Tavern stands prominently among other businesses, with its charming facade drawing attention from passersby. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to Wright the cheesemonger's shop and W Crew's umbrella and parasol manufacturing establishment. These shops were undoubtedly essential in catering to the needs of both locals and visitors alike. The architectural beauty showcased in this photograph is truly remarkable. The intricate details adorning each building reflect the craftsmanship prevalent during that time period. It is fascinating to witness how these structures have stood the test of time and continue to be an integral part of London's rich history. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this snapshot from yesteryears as if we were transported back in time ourselves. This image serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over centuries while still retaining their unique charm.
