EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Burdett Road in Stepney, London, in the year 1912. The broad tree-lined avenue is adorned with tramlines, serving as a reminder of a bygone era when horses and carts were the primary mode of transportation. The street appears relatively empty compared to today's standards, allowing us to appreciate the architectural beauty of the four-storey terraced houses lining both sides. As our gaze follows the tramlines towards the railway bridge, we catch sight of Saint Pauls Church on our right. This Christian place of worship stands tall amidst its surroundings, symbolizing faith and spirituality within this vibrant community. The cobblestone road adds charm and character to this snapshot from history. It reflects an era before asphalt took over our streets, reminding us of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. This image captures not only a physical location but also represents concepts such as quietness and residential living. It serves as a testament to London's rich heritage under institutions like Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC), which played significant roles in shaping urban development during that time. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for future generations to admire, this monochrome photograph allows us to travel back in time and witness how life unfolded on Burdett Road more than a century ago.
