EDITORS COMMENTS
Bury Street, St. James: A Peek into the Past Step back in time with this photograph of Bury Street in St. James's, London, as it appeared in 1875. Named after William Berry, a half pay officer in the British Army and the Landlord of most properties in the street at the time of his death in 1735, Bury Street has a rich history that spans over three centuries. William Berry's influence on the street is evident in the image, with the grand houses and well-manicured gardens reflecting the affluence and prestige of the area during the Victorian era. The street's elegant architecture, with its red brick facades and ornate details, is a testament to the wealth and status of its residents. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Londoners during this period. Horse-drawn carriages line the cobblestone streets, while people go about their business in the foreground. The street scene is bustling with activity, yet the tranquility of the gardens and the serene atmosphere of the area are palpable. Bury Street's history is steeped in tradition and grandeur, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in London's past. This photograph is a rare and precious document of a bygone era, offering a unique perspective into the lives of Londoners over a century ago.
