Step back in time and explore the charm of London's hansom cabs. These iconic horse-drawn carriages were a common sight in the bustling streets of Trafalgar Square, Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, Embankment, and The Strand from 1850 to 1900. In a captivating black and white photo captured by an unknown creator, we are transported to Abbey Square and Pump Rooms in Bath around 1880. The image depicts the elegance of this era as hansom cabs gracefully navigate through the cobblestone streets. One engraving titled "Singular Accident in Hunter-Street, Brunswick-Square" captures a moment frozen in time where these magnificent carriages encounter unexpected mishaps amidst their daily journeys. Another enchanting illustration showcases the Bank of England and Royal Exchange during the nineteenth century when they were an integral part of London's vibrant financial district. The St Mary Le Strand Church stands tall on The Strand road as it did in 1900 when another snapshot was taken. This historic landmark serves as a backdrop for countless hansom cab rides that carried passengers through London's lively streets. Not limited to just London, these charming vehicles also made their mark across continents with an image capturing Hansom Cabs gracing New York City circa 1897. Even across borders, these elegant carriages retained their allure. Edwardian London comes alive before our eyes as we gaze upon a busy Regent Street scene leading towards the majestic Duke of Yorks Column. And finally, we find ourselves immersed in yet another striking view down The Strand street towards St Mary - le - Strand church; it is here that we witness everyday life unfold against the timeless backdrop provided by hansom cabs. These glimpses into history remind us of how transportation has evolved over time while preserving memories etched within each photograph or engraving.
