EDITORS COMMENTS
Staples Inn, Holborn: A Glimpse into 16th Century London (1884) Step back in time with this photograph of Staples Inn, located in the heart of Holborn, London. Dated 1884, this image offers a rare glimpse into the rich history of this historic site, which can be traced back to the 16th century. The row of shops, beautifully preserved and adorned with intricate architectural details, transports us to an era long past. The Tudor-style buildings, with their timber-framed facades and ornate brickwork, exude an air of charm and antiquity. The quaint shop fronts, some with their original signage still intact, hint at the various trades that once thrived in this bustling commercial district. Staples Inn, a name that has stood the test of time, was originally known as 'The Inn of the Three Cranes'. It is believed that the name 'Staples' was adopted due to the inn's association with the staple markets, which were significant centers for the buying and selling of agricultural produce during medieval times. This photograph, captured in 1884, provides a fascinating snapshot of London's history, showcasing the city's architectural heritage and its evolution over the centuries. The image invites us to imagine the daily life and bustling activity that once filled the streets of Holborn, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of London's past.
