EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the corner of King Edward Street in Kingston-upon-Hull, England, as it appeared in 1908. This historical image, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a bygone era, filled with horse-drawn carriages, Victorian architecture, and the hustle and bustle of daily life. The photograph, taken on the intersection of King Edward Street and a smaller, unnamed street, showcases the grandeur of Hull's past. The imposing facade of a large, red-brick building dominates the scene on the left, its ornate details and large, arched windows a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage. Across the street, a row of smaller, terraced houses line the pavement, their whitewashed walls and blackened chimneys a stark contrast to the red brick. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage waits patiently at the curb, its driver poised and ready to whisk away its passengers. Pedestrians, dressed in the fashion of the time, can be seen crossing the street, their umbrellas raised against the drizzle that falls gently from the sky. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the city's commercial and industrial past. A sign for a "Brewery" can be seen on the building on the left, while a "Grocer" and "Baker" sign can be seen on the row of houses. The presence of these businesses suggests that this corner of King Edward Street was once a bustling hub of activity, serving the needs of the local community. This photograph is not only a beautiful snapshot of Hull's history but also a reminder of the city's resilience and its ability to adapt and thrive through the passage of time.
