EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a horse-drawn bus making its way along Durning Road in Wavertree, Liverpool during the early 1900s. The horse, harnessed and determined, pulls the vintage bus through the cobblestone streets, leaving a trail of dust in its wake. The passengers, bundled up against the chill of the era, peer out from the open windows, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling community around them. The horse bus, a common mode of transportation during the Victorian and Edwardian eras before the advent of motorized vehicles, was an essential part of daily life in Wavertree and Liverpool. These buses, drawn by horses and pulled by drivers, connected neighborhoods and communities, providing essential access to essential services and opportunities for social interaction. The scene depicted in this photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when transportation was more personal and community-oriented. The horse bus, with its distinctive design and charm, serves as a reminder of the rich history and character of Wavertree and Liverpool during the early 1900s. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and experiences of those who rode the horse buses of Wavertree and Liverpool over a century ago.
