Middle Row, Croydon, 1875 - A Glimpse into Olde Croydon's Vibrant Streetscape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print of "Middle Row, Croydon, 1875" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of yesteryear. Captured by John Corbet Anderson, a renowned English artist from the late 19th century, this ink masterpiece measures an impressive 36x28 cm and is now part of the esteemed Croydon Art Collection at the Museum of Croydon in the UK. The image transports us to Middle Row in historic Croydon, where life unfolds before our eyes. The faded signs on buildings such as "The Robinson Crusoe" and "Crowleys Ale" hint at a lively pub culture that once thrived here. These establishments were likely frequented by locals seeking respite or engaging conversations over pints of ale. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, it becomes apparent that Middle Row was not just any ordinary street; it held significance for literature enthusiasts too. Daniel Defoe's iconic novel "Robinson Crusoe" featuring its wonderful and monstrous characters, had left an indelible mark on popular culture during that era. In this photograph's frame lies evidence of a vibrant community intertwined with literary inspiration. It serves as a testament to how art can capture moments frozen in time and transport viewers across centuries to experience the essence of places long gone.
