EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the bustling streets of South Norwood, Croydon. The image showcases a vibrant high street scene, with rows of charming shops lining both sides of the road. In particular, our attention is drawn to the magnificent premises of F W Woolworth and Company Limited situated at the heart of this snapshot. From a western perspective, we are treated to a view that encapsulates the essence of this thriving shopping district. The terrace-style architecture adds an element of elegance and unity to the streetscape, while also providing ample space for various businesses to flourish side by side. The focal point undoubtedly lies on F W Woolworth's grand establishment. With its prominent position in the center of the frame, it exudes an air of importance and prosperity. Its large windows proudly display an array of products that would have enticed passersby during those bygone days. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured by His toric England Archive, we can't help but imagine ourselves strolling along these very streets decades ago. It serves as a reminder not only of how much has changed over time but also how certain landmarks continue to shape our communities today.
