EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the heart of London's historic Holborn district in 1884, offers a glimpse into the past as it showcases the charming Staples Inn. Situated at the intersection of High Holborn and Chancery Lane, Staples Inn is a hidden gem nestled among the bustling streets of the city. The image reveals a quaint and tranquil scene, with the red-brick facade of the inn standing proudly against the backdrop of tall, Victorian-era buildings. The inn's name, "Staples," is prominently displayed above the entrance, inviting passersby to step inside and unwind. The photograph captures the essence of London's rich history, as Staples Inn is believed to date back to the 17th century. It was originally a coaching inn, providing lodging and refreshments for travelers making their way through the city. Over the centuries, it has served various purposes, including as a barristers' chambers and a residence for members of the Inner Temple, one of the four Inns of Court in London. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Londoners during the late 19th century. Horse-drawn carriages can be seen parked along the cobblestone streets, while people dressed in Victorian attire go about their business. The scene is both nostalgic and intriguing, transporting us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, red-brick buildings, and the bustling energy of London's historic Holborn district.
