EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling streets of Fleet Street in London during the year 1835. The view showcases a vibrant scene, with various shops and establishments lining the avenue. Prominently featured are three notable businesses: J Reid's wine and spirit merchant at number 66, Furzes shoe shop at number 65, and the Bolt and Tun Inn serving as a general coach office at number 64. The image provides a glimpse into daily life in this era, showcasing figures strolling along the pavement while a horse-drawn carriage passes by. The brick buildings stand tall, each housing different professions that catered to the needs of locals and visitors alike. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery has preserved this remarkable watercolour snapshot from the past. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only the architecture but also gain insight into occupations prevalent during this time period. From shoemakers diligently crafting footwear to wine merchants tending to their customers' desires for spirits, these images evoke nostalgia for a bygone era when shopping was an experience filled with personal interactions. This photograph is more than just a historical record; it serves as a reminder of how commerce shaped our cities throughout centuries.
