Schubert Road, Putney, West London - SW15 (circa 1910): A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the tranquil scene of Schubert Road in Putney, West London, during the early 1900s. The image, taken around 1910, transports us back in time and invites us to explore the daily life of this charming residential area. The cobblestone street, lined with tall, well-maintained houses, exudes a sense of elegance and refinement. The trees, adorned with lush green foliage, add a touch of natural beauty to the scene. In the foreground, a milkman in a traditional uniform, complete with a cap and apron, is seen delivering milk to a house. He carries a large, churn-like container on his back, balanced precariously as he navigates the uneven terrain. The milkman's horse, tethered to a nearby lamppost, looks on curiously as its master goes about his daily routine. The horse-drawn cart, a common sight in those days, is parked nearby, filled with empty milk bottles waiting to be exchanged for fresh milk. The scene is completed by the children playing in the street, their laughter echoing through the air. They seem oblivious to the photographer, engrossed in their games and the simple joys of childhood. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of a London community over a century ago. The absence of modern conveniences, the horse-drawn cart, and the children's innocent play all serve as a reminder of a bygone era.
