Borough High Street, Southwark, London, c1835 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Borough High in 19th century London. The image captures a bustling scene as horse-drawn carriages navigate their way along the road while pedestrians go about their daily activities. On the left side of the street stands St Saviours church, now known as Southwark Cathedral. Its majestic presence adds a touch of grandeur to this lively avenue. On the right side, we catch sight of St Thomas's Hospital, an institution that has served the community for centuries. The photograph showcases not only a snapshot of transportation in that era but also provides insight into religious life during those times. Christianity played a significant role in society, evident through these prominent landmarks flanking Borough High Street. As we observe this monochrome engraving from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, it becomes apparent just how crowded and busy this part of London was at that time. The street is filled with people going about their daily routines amidst railings lining both sides. This glimpse into history allows us to appreciate how much our surroundings have evolved over time while reminding us of the rich heritage embedded within every corner of our cities.
