EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1910s, we find ourselves transported back in time to the bustling streets of London, specifically at 50 Dorset Street, Baker Street. The large corner shop at this address, run by Larrad, was a hub of activity for the local community. As a greengrocer, fruiterer, and florist, Larrad provided an essential service, supplying fresh produce and beautiful flowers to the residents of this vibrant area. The image captures the shop in full swing, with a large display of fruits, vegetables, and flowers spilling out onto the pavement. The shopkeeper, a man in a flat cap and apron, stands proudly behind the counter, engaging with customers and no doubt sharing his expertise on the best produce for their needs. Two men, likely customers, are seen in the foreground, one carrying a basket laden with goods, the other consulting with Larrad. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a carpenter, working on the shop's wooden structure, adding to the sense of industry and commerce that permeated the streets of London during this era. The shop's signage, adorned with the name "Larrad" and the various goods it offered, adds to the visual appeal of the photograph. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and trade of a British corner shop during the 1910s. The image is a testament to the importance of small, locally-owned businesses in providing essential services to their communities and the enduring appeal of fresh, seasonal produce.
