EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of Croydon in 1890. The scene captures the vibrant atmosphere of a street market in Surrey Street, with its charming old-world charm. In the foreground stands The Britannia pub, its front elevation proudly displayed for all to see. The image transports us to a time when markets were the heart and soul of communities, where locals gathered to buy fresh produce and engage in lively conversations. The market stalls are filled with an array of goods, from fruits and vegetables to clothing and household items. People can be seen going about their daily routines, haggling over prices or simply enjoying each other's company. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of this momentous era, showcasing both the architectural beauty of The Britannia pub and the energy that permeates through every corner of this vibrant street market. It is as if time has stood still within this frame, allowing us a glimpse into a bygone era. This remarkable print serves as a testament to our rich history and reminds us of how much we have evolved since then. It invites viewers to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come as a society.
