A Glimpse into the Past: Buildings in Wigmore Street, London (circa 1910) Wigmore Street in London's Marylebone district, as depicted in this photograph from the 1910s, presents a striking contrast to the bustling and cosmopolitan area it is known for today. The black-and-white image reveals a quieter, more tranquil scene, with elegant buildings lining the street and a few cars parked along the pavement. The buildings in this photograph exude a sense of grandeur and sophistication, their ornate facades adorned with intricate details and large, arched windows. The steps leading up to some of the entrances add an inviting touch, as if beckoning visitors to explore the hidden treasures within. The architecture, a blend of various styles, reflects the rich history and diverse influences that have shaped London over the centuries. The pavement, dotted with horse manure and the occasional puddle, bears testament to the horse-drawn vehicles that once dominated the city's streets. However, even then, the advent of the automobile is evident, with a few cars parked along the side of the road. The presence of these early motor vehicles hints at the rapid technological advancements that were transforming the urban landscape. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating window into London's history and the evolution of its streets. The buildings in Wigmore Street, with their timeless charm and character, continue to stand as a reminder of the city's rich past and its enduring appeal.
