EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Putney in the 1880s. The image captures a vibrant scene outside Stephen Lydiatt's Butchers shop on Putney High Street, where a crowd has gathered. The people in the photograph are posed, giving us a glimpse into their daily lives as they engage in shopping and socializing. It is fascinating to see how commerce was conducted during this era, with meat being prominently displayed in the shop window. Stephen Lydiatt himself is not visible in the picture, but his presence can be felt through his thriving business. As both a butcher and dairyman, he catered to the needs of local residents by providing them with fresh meat and dairy products. The parcels neatly arranged on London's iconic red double-decker buses add an interesting touch to this snapshot of history. They serve as a reminder of how goods were transported across the city at that time. This print is part of William Field's collection titled "Photographs of Putney" curated by Dorian Gerhold and Michael Bull for the Wandsworth Historical Society. Through these images, we are granted access to moments frozen in time - glimpses into everyday life that allow us to appreciate our rich heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by William O Field, let it serve as a testament to our shared past and remind us of how far we have come since those bustling days on Putney High Street.
