EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases an old coachmaker's shop located in Long Acre, a vibrant avenue in the heart of Covent Garden. This historic premises belonged to Hatchett & Co, renowned coachbuilders who set high standards for their craft and introduced innovative designs that were often imitated by their competitors. The photograph captures the architectural beauty of the building, with its charming exterior standing proudly amidst a cobbled lane. It offers a glimpse into the thriving industry of coachbuilding that once dominated this part of the city. The scene is filled with nostalgia as horse-drawn carriages line up outside the shop, ready to transport passengers through London's busy streets. As we admire this snapshot from history, it becomes evident how much has changed since those times. The workshop represents not only a place of occupation but also a testament to craftsmanship and dedication. This image is part of Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" which serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the rich heritage embedded within Westminster and its western suburbs. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an era where road transport relied on these beautifully crafted coaches. It reminds us of our connection to our past while highlighting how far we have come in terms of transportation technology.
