EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Holloway Road in London, circa 1900. The bustling street is lined with a mix of Victorian architecture and intriguing advertisements, transporting us to an era of horse-drawn transportation and traditional pubs. At the heart of the scene, an omnibus, or horse-drawn bus, waits outside the Nags Head Pub. The publican during this time was William Wheeler, making this an accurate depiction of the early 1900s. The double-decker horse bus, often referred to as a 'decker' or 'open topper,' was a common sight on the streets of London during this period. Its open design allowed passengers to enjoy the fresh air as they traveled, while the horse provided the power to move the vehicle. Adorning the side of the bus is an advertisement for Ivel Cheese, a popular brand during this time. The advertisement features a striking image of a saint holding a wheel of cheese, emphasizing the quality and appeal of the product. In the background, a house with intricate detailing and a chimney stack can be seen, while other shops and businesses line the street. The presence of a horse-drawn carriage and a man leading a horse further emphasize the period setting. Sadly, the Nags Head Pub, a historic establishment during this time, is now home to an Agora Amusement Arcade. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into London's past, allowing us to appreciate the city's rich history and evolution over time.
