EDITORS COMMENTS
St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell, London (circa 1905) by Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to the Edwardian era of the early 1900s. This photograph showcases St. John's Gate, an impressive architectural masterpiece located in the historic district of Clerkenwell, London. The image reveals a grand archway with crenellated arches, a design reminiscent of medieval fortifications. The red brick building, adorned with intricate stonework, stands tall and proud, its imposing presence a testament to the rich history of the area. A bustling road runs before the gate, with horse-drawn carriages and automobiles making their way through the narrow street. The pavement is filled with pedestrians, some hurrying along their way, while others pause to take in the sight of the magnificent gate. Several signs can be seen along the road, including the distinctive red Percy's sign, indicating the presence of a shoeing forge or a blacksmith's shop. Nearby, a row of buildings houses Percy's Dining Rooms, offering respite and sustenance to weary travelers. The scene is a snapshot of life in the early 1900s, a time when horse-drawn carriages shared the road with the first automobiles, and the sounds of clanging metal from the forge mixed with the chatter of pedestrians on the busy streets of Clerkenwell, London.
