EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of Commercial Road in Kirkstall, Leeds, as it once was. Taken from the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, this lantern slide transports us to an era long past. The image showcases the bustling Commercial Road, lined with various shops and businesses, each with their unique character and charm. The cobblestone street, now mostly replaced by modern asphalt, is filled with horse-drawn carts and pedestrians, adding to the hustle and bustle of the scene. On the left side of the photograph, a row of shops can be seen, their windows displaying an array of goods for sale. A butcher's shop, a bakery, and a hardware store are among the establishments visible. The buildings, with their intricate brickwork and ornate details, exude an undeniable charm and elegance. In the foreground, a man in a bowler hat and overcoat can be seen, likely on his way to conduct business or run errands. A horse-drawn cart, laden with goods, adds to the sense of activity and industry that once defined Commercial Road. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past through its depiction of the people and their daily lives. The women in long skirts and bonnets, the children playing in the street, and the men in their workwear all contribute to a rich and vivid portrait of life in Kirkstall, Leeds, during a bygone era. This stunning vintage photograph is not only a testament to the history of Commercial Road but also a reminder of the charm and character that once defined the streets of Leeds. It serves as an invitation to explore the past and appreciate the evolution of this vibrant city.
