Cheapside, London, c1910 - A Glimpse into the Bustling City Life of the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to Cheapside, London in the early 20th century. The image captures a vibrant scene as we look eastward along this iconic avenue. In the distance, we can spot the majestic spire of St Mary-le-Bow rising above the city skyline. At the forefront of this bustling street stands a statue of Sir Robert Peel, positioned proudly at the junction of Cheapside and St Martins le Grand. This esteemed figure was later removed from its prominent location during the 1930s but remains immortalized in this snapshot from history. The hand-colored details bring life to every aspect of this photograph - from the architecture and buildings lining both sides of Cheapside to the busy road filled with buses and pedestrians going about their daily routines. It is truly a testament to both artistry and historical documentation. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it's impossible not to be captivated by how different yet familiar life was over a century ago. This photochrom postcard offers us an intriguing glimpse into London's past - its streets alive with activity and its people connected through postal services and public transport. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate these moments captured by an unknown creator who has left behind an invaluable record for future generations.
