EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1895, captures the bustling Strand in London at the turn of the century. The Strand, a major thoroughfare in the heart of the city, is seen here teeming with activity. Horse-drawn carriages and omnibuses jostle for space on the narrow streets, while pedestrians go about their business, some deep in conversation, others engrossed in their shopping. In the background, the imposing St Mary-le-Strand Church stands proudly, its Gothic Revival architecture a striking contrast to the modernity of the surrounding buildings. The church, which dates back to the 17th century, has long been a landmark on the Strand and a symbol of the area's rich history. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, top hats, and bustling streets. It also highlights the contrast between the old and the new, with the traditional church standing tall amidst the modern developments of the time. The Strand has always been a hub of activity, and this photograph captures its vibrant energy perfectly. It is a testament to the enduring character of London and its ability to blend the old with the new, making it one of the most fascinating cities in the world.
