EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the hustle and bustle of the North End of Old Blackfriars Bridge in London around the turn of the 20th century. The image, taken circa 1900, shows a significant road junction where the bridge meets the Strand and Victoria Embankment. At this time, Old Blackfriars Bridge was still in use before it was replaced by a new bridge in 1909. The photograph reveals a fascinating snapshot of history, with horse-drawn carts and carriages sharing the narrow road with cyclists. The horses, often adorned with elegant harnesses and plumes, were still the primary mode of transportation for people and goods. Meanwhile, the advent of the bicycle was gaining popularity, as evidenced by the numerous cyclists navigating the congested streets. The Old Blackfriars Bridge, with its distinctive arches and ornate railings, stands proudly in the background. The bridge's historical significance can be traced back to the 18th century, making it a vital part of London's rich heritage. The bridge's replacement in 1909 marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in the city's transportation history. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of historical images of London, offering a unique glimpse into the past and the daily life of the city during an era of significant change. The competition for space on the road between horse-drawn vehicles and cyclists serves as a reminder of the evolution of transportation and the enduring spirit of Londoners adapting to new technologies and modes of travel.
