EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this view of Bank Street in New London, Connecticut, USA, circa 1908. The black-and-white photograph transports us to a quieter era, where the hustle and bustle of city life seemed to move at a more leisurely pace. The Bijou Theatre, with its grand marquee and red and white striped awning, stands proudly on the right-hand side of the street. The theatre was a popular entertainment venue, hosting vaudeville shows, live music, and silent films. The buildings on either side of the street are adorned with intricate architectural details, showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Shops and stores line the pavement, each with their unique signs and wares on display. A telegraph pole and tramlines add to the sense of history and progress. McBarry's Barber Shop, with its red and white striped pole, can be seen on the left-hand side of the street. The barber, no doubt, would have been a familiar figure to the residents of New London, providing essential grooming services to the community. Across the street, a greengrocer's shop displays an array of fresh fruits and vegetables, enticing passersby with the promise of a nutritious and delicious meal. The vibrant colors of the produce contrast beautifully with the monochrome tones of the photograph. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and lives of the people who once walked these very streets. Bank Street in New London, Connecticut, USA, remains a fascinating piece of American history.
