EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Holloway Road in Islington, North London, circa 1905. The image transports us to the Edwardian era, where the bustling street is filled with a sense of energy and activity. The large public house on the corner, adorned with ornate Victorian architecture, stands proudly as a beacon of community and warmth. The pavement is crowded with people, dressed in their finest attire, making their way through the misty air. The thick fog, a common occurrence during this time, adds a mystical quality to the scene. Despite the pollution, the spirit of the era is palpable, with horse-drawn carriages and omnibus buses making their way through the narrow streets. The pub, named Borwick or Borwicks, is a popular watering hole, as evidenced by the lanterns hanging outside, illuminating the path for patrons. The wine and spirit merchant, located next door, suggests that this establishment was a social hub for the local community. The buildings on either side of the road are a testament to the architectural grandeur of the era, with intricate details and ornate designs. The contrast between the old and new, with the modern buses and horse-drawn carriages, highlights the transition from one era to another. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on life in North London during the early 1900s. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the hustle and bustle of city life was a part of daily life, and the pub was the heart of the community.
