EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of Morgan Bros Grocers shop on Shirland Road in Maida Vale, London, circa 1916. The image captures the essence of the 1910s era with its intricately designed buildings and the bustling energy of the street. At the heart of the scene is the Morgan Bros shop, proudly displaying its sign above the doorway. The shop's large windows offer a glimpse into the world within, where fresh produce, bread, and other groceries are on display. The shop's name, "Morgan Bros," is prominently displayed in elegant script, inviting passersby to step inside. A woman in an apron stands in the doorway, adding a sense of warmth and familiarity to the scene. She greets customers with a friendly smile, no doubt offering them a loaf of fresh Hovis bread or a selection of Nevill's finest fruits and vegetables. The woman's presence also underscores the personal touch that defined local grocers during this era. The pavement outside is filled with the sounds and smells of the busy street, as horse-drawn carts and automobiles pass by. The buildings on either side of the shop are adorned with intricate details, from the ornate brickwork to the decorative signs above the doors. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when shopping was a more personal and community-oriented experience. Morgan Bros Grocers shop on Shirland Road in Maida Vale, London, stands as a testament to the rich history of the area and the enduring charm of traditional British shops.
