Antique Blackheath Boarding Brother Cock Dealer Hylton Lived Named Occupied Parade Premises Stanley Taste

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph, titled 'Lady Boarding a Bus' and dated 1906, captures a moment in time as a plump woman makes her way up the steps of a double-decker bus. The scene is set in the quaint streets of Blackheath, London, where the premises of antique dealer Hylton Cock once stood, now home to 'The Taste of Raj' on The Parade. Hylton Cock was not only an accomplished artist but also an antique dealer who occupied these very premises before World War 1. His artistic talent is evident in this image, as he skillfully conveys the woman's determination and the bus driver's patience as she maneuvers her ample frame onto the bus. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of early 20th-century London. Cock's artistic brother, Stanley, also lived with him in Peckham. The siblings' shared passion for art and antiques left an indelible mark on the community, and their legacy continues to inspire and intrigue visitors to Blackheath today. This photograph, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the rich history that lies hidden within the streets of London.
