EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, transports us back in time to the bustling High Street of Eltham, a historic market town located in the south-east London borough of Greenwich. The image showcases the charm and character of the area, which was once an important coaching stop on the road from London to Dover. The photograph reveals a vibrant and lively scene, with horse-drawn carriages and omnibuses lined up along the cobblestone street, waiting to transport passengers to their destinations. The pedestrians, dressed in fashionable Edwardian attire, are engrossed in their daily errands, adding to the sense of activity and energy. Eltham High Street was known for its thriving market, which can be seen in full swing in this photograph. Stalls laden with fresh produce, flowers, and other goods attract the attention of shoppers, while merchants call out to potential customers, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere. The photograph also reveals the architectural beauty of Eltham High Street, with its mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings, many of which still stand today. The grand Eltham Palace, a medieval fortress that was later transformed into a Tudor-style mansion, can be glimpsed in the background, adding to the historical significance of the scene. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the daily life and culture of Eltham and its residents over a century ago.
