EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene on Victoria Street in London during the early 20th century. The Old Army and Navy Stores, located on the right-hand side of the street, stand proudly with their distinctive red and white striped awnings. Established in 1879, the store was a popular destination for British families seeking affordable clothing and supplies. The horse-drawn carriages parked along the cobblestone street add to the sense of history and tradition. The passengers in the carriages, dressed in their finest attire, appear to be on their way to a grand occasion. The fashionable ladies in long skirts and hats, and the gentlemen in top hats and frock coats, convey an air of elegance and sophistication. The street itself is bustling with activity. Pedestrians, many of whom are carrying shopping bags, navigate the crowded sidewalks. Street vendors sell their wares, and children play in the streets, adding to the lively atmosphere. The Old Army and Navy Stores remained a beloved institution in London for over a century, serving generations of families until it closed its doors in 1982. Today, Victoria Street continues to be a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich history and culture of London. This photograph serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when horse-drawn carriages and traditional shops were a common sight on the streets of the city.
