EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "High Street, North Woolwich; later Pier Road, 1899" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of late 19th century London. The image showcases R. Chambers & Co. , a prominent cartage contractor and wharfingers located on High Street, now known as Pier Road. In this snapshot frozen in history, we see a man standing proudly in front of the company's doors, providing a sense of scale to the surrounding buildings. The architecture reflects the era with its intricate details and charming facades. The photo offers a glimpse into daily life during that period - horse-drawn carriages passing by, pedestrians going about their business along the busy street. It transports us to an era when technology was simpler but community connections were stronger. Located in Woolwich within the Metropolitan Borough of Greenwich, this scene captures not only a specific place but also represents an important part of London's rich heritage. Preserved by English photographer from the 19th century whose identity remains unknown today, this print is now housed at London Metropolitan Archives. As we admire this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, it serves as both an artistic treasure and historical documentation for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
