EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Southwark, south London, circa 1878. The image showcases a collection of old inns that once served as vibrant public houses in this historic neighborhood. Among them are the Dog & Bear and Old Croyden House, Kings Head, The Catherine Wheel, Queens Head, and The George. These magnificent buildings have a rich history dating back to the 16th century when they were transformed into theaters. In those days, plays would come alive within their courtyards while spectators watched from elegant balconies above. The photograph is part of Edward Walford's renowned publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places". Published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. , this volume offers an insightful glimpse into the architectural wonders that adorned the city during that era. With its monochrome charm and intricate details captured by an unknown creator at the time, this print transports us to a different world altogether. It serves as a testament to Britain's architectural heritage and provides a fascinating window into Southwark's past as a thriving hub for entertainment and socializing.
