EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Smithfield Market in Birmingham during the late 1890s. The bustling urban scene is a feast for the eyes, filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of a thriving Victorian marketplace. At the heart of the image, a steam tram makes its way down Moat Row towards Smithfield Street, its billowing plume of steam a testament to the industrial might of the era. The tram, an essential mode of transport for the city's residents, adds a sense of motion and energy to the static scene. To the left, Moat Lane stretches out, lined with buildings that bear the marks of time. The cobblestone streets and red-brick facades are a stark contrast to the modern concrete and glass structures that dominate the cityscape today. The Drovers Arms pub, a familiar landmark on the corner of Bradford Street, stands proudly to the right, its inviting sign beckoning weary travelers and marketgoers. The people in the photograph, dressed in their Victorian finery, add a human element to the scene. They haggle over goods, load carts with produce, and socialize with friends and neighbors. The market, a hub of commerce and community, is a microcosm of life in Birmingham during this period. This photograph, captured by Historic England Archive, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam trams ruled the streets and Smithfield Market was the heart of the city.
