EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by William O Field takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Lower Richmond Road, Putney, in Greater London during the late 1880s. The image captures a picturesque view from outside St Mary's Church, offering a glimpse into the vibrant urban life of that era. In the foreground stands the iconic Red Lion public house, proudly displaying its Victorian architecture and exuding an air of history and charm. Its red brick facade contrasts beautifully with the surrounding buildings, drawing attention to itself as a focal point of this snapshot from yesteryear. The scene is alive with activity - pedestrians strolling along the pavement, horse-drawn carriages passing by on Windsor Street (now known as Lower Richmond Road), and locals going about their daily routines. The atmosphere is palpable; one can almost hear snippets of conversations and catch whiffs of aromas emanating from nearby shops and eateries. Field's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into how people lived during this period. This photograph serves as a visual time capsule, transporting us back to an era when wharves were bustling with trade and industry. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through Field's lens, we are reminded once again that our past shapes our present. It encourages us to cherish our heritage while embracing progress and change in our ever-evolving cities.
