EDITORS COMMENTS
Auburn leaves crunch beneath the feet of a young boy as he pauses in his play on the pavement of Coldharbour Lane, South London. His cherished companion, a scruffy yet loveable terrier, sits obediently by his side, its ears perked up in anticipation. The scene, captured in the 1910s, exudes the charm and simplicity of a bygone era. The bustling street, lined with shops and businesses, forms a lively backdrop to their moment of respite. Among the establishments, O Hughes Tailors stands out, its signage proudly displaying the various services offered: repairs, alterations, and cleaning. The shop's windows reveal an array of pristine buttonholes and freshly pressed flower garlands, hinting at the attention to detail and craftsmanship that lies within. Adjacent to O Hughes, a board bearing the logo of Gibbs Valuers and Auctioneers catches the eye. The presence of these property specialists adds to the sense of community and commerce that thrives on Coldharbour Lane. Other businesses, such as a repair shop and a flower shop, contribute to the vibrant street scene. Despite the activity around them, the boy and his dog remain the focal point of the photograph. Their bond is palpable, a testament to the enduring connection between people and their pets. As the sun begins to set, casting long shadows on the pavement, the pair continue to enjoy their moment of companionship, oblivious to the passing of time and the ever-changing world around them. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of South London, capturing the essence of a community that thrived on the bustling streets of Peckham and Camberwell during the Edwardian era. The image invites us to reflect on the simple pleasures of life and the enduring bond between a boy and his dog.
