EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of F Foster's Tobacco Stores in Earlsfield, Wandsworth, SW London, circa 1920s. The image transports us to a bygone era with its intriguing display of signs and merchandise in the shop window. The exterior of the store is adorned with various advertisements, including those for Cadbury's chocolates and Players cigarettes. The large, ornate sign above the door proudly announces "Foster's Tobacco Stores," inviting passersby to enter. Through the open doorway, we catch a glimpse of the interior, where two well-dressed assistants are busy at work. One man is carefully arranging tobacco products on the counter, while the other woman is assisting a customer with a selection of chocolates. The atmosphere is bustling yet friendly, as the staff attend to the needs of their clients in this traditional tobacconist and confectioner. The large, arched windows allow ample natural light to filter in, illuminating the warm, inviting interior. The wooden floorboards creak gently underfoot, and the scent of tobacco and chocolate wafts through the air. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant and eclectic mix of goods sold in local shops during the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and character that can still be found in the streets of London, even as the city continues to evolve and change.
