EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Putney, Greater London, in the early 1900s. The image captures a moment outside W Quenby Cash Butcher on Felsham Road, where people are posed proudly alongside the shop's entrance. The scene exudes an air of urban charm with its Edwardian architecture and vintage lamppost standing tall amidst a backdrop of ivy-covered buildings. The attention to detail is striking; from the neatly arranged carcasses hanging inside the butcher's shop to the butchers themselves donning their aprons, ready to serve their customers. It is fascinating to observe how hygiene standards were upheld even during this era as evidenced by the clean storefront and well-maintained surroundings. This photo offers a glimpse into daily life in early 20th century London, showcasing both commerce and community. Intriguingly, just beyond Walker's Place lies St Mary's Mission House, adding another layer of historical significance to this snapshot. William O Field skillfully captured this slice of history through his lens, preserving it for future generations. This particular print is part of William Fields's collection titled "Photographs of Putney" meticulously compiled by Dorian Gerhold and Michael Bull for the Wandsworth Historical Society. It serves as a testament not only to Field's talent but also to our collective desire to cherish and learn from our past.
