EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Bush House, Kingsway, London in the 1910s Bush House, located on Kingsway in London, has been an iconic landmark in the city's history for over a century. This photograph, taken circa 1910s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the building's early days. The image reveals a bustling scene on the pavement outside Bush House. A red double-decker bus and a horse-drawn cab are parked at the curb, waiting for passengers. Nearby, a London taxi idles, its driver ready to whisk away fares. The London County Council (LCC) tramway, a vital part of the city's public transportation system, passes by, its tracks visible on the street. Bush House, with its imposing facade, stands proudly in the background. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) had not yet taken residence in the building, which was then known as the Southern End News Building. The entrance to Aldwych Underground Station can be seen on the left, adding to the hive of activity in the scene. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where horse-drawn carriages and trams shared the streets with motorized vehicles. The image is a testament to the evolution of public transportation in London and the changing face of Bush House, which would eventually become synonymous with British broadcasting. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to explore the rich history of Bush House and the vibrant cityscape of London during the 1910s.
