EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of transition for Gilderson & Sons Ltd, the well-known undertakers located on Southgate Road in Islington, North London. The 1930s image shows the team and their hearse preparing to move to their new premises in Cleveland Road. The undertakers are seen gathered around their horse-drawn hearse, which is adorned with black drapery and a floral arrangement. The undertakers, dressed in formal attire, appear solemn and focused as they prepare for the journey. In the background, the old sign of Gilderson & Sons Ltd can be seen on the side of the building, with the new sign for Hillier, Parker, and Rowden Monumental Masons already in place. The two companies were likely related, as Hillier, Parker, and Rowden were monumental masons, who create and install tombstones and memorials. The bustling street scene of Southgate Road is in the background, with people and a car passing by. The corner of the building is visible, with its red brick facade and ornate details. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the somber yet important work of the undertakers as they move to their new location.
