EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Harry Bedford Lemere on the 24th of September 1886, captures the bustling atmosphere of Grove Road in Eastbourne, East Sussex during the Victorian era. The image presents a perspective view of a charming parade of shops, each with its unique character and distinct architectural features. The shops, adorned with ornate facades and display windows filled with intriguing merchandise, invite passersby to explore their wares. People of all ages and walks of life can be seen on the pavement, adding to the lively scene. Children play and laugh, while adults engage in conversation or attend to their errands. The presence of horse-drawn carriages and the occasional bicycle further emphasizes the era's charm and transportation methods. The photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when shopping was a social activity and the high street was the heart of the community. The vibrant energy and sense of connection among the people and the shops create a timeless image that continues to captivate and inspire us today. The intricate details of the shops, from the intriguing signage to the carefully arranged displays, reveal the care and craftsmanship that went into creating this bustling commercial district. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of retail in Eastbourne and the enduring appeal of the Victorian era.
