EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming postcard, dated circa 1910, captures a glimpse of The Mansion House and Cheapside in London during an era of horse-drawn carriages and bustling activity. The Mansion House, located on Poultry in the City of London, is a historic building that has served as the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London since 1753. Its grand facade, adorned with intricate carvings and columns, stands proudly in the background. Across the street, the vibrant scene of Cheapside unfolds. The name "Cheapside" originated from the Old English word "ceap," meaning market or shop, and the area was known for its bustling marketplaces and shops. In this image, we see a Boots Cash Chemists store, with its distinctive green cross signage prominently displayed. The store would have offered a variety of medicines, health and beauty products, and perhaps even a small pharmacy counter. The horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians on the cobblestone streets add to the sense of hustle and bustle, while the tall buildings on either side of the street create an enchanting sense of depth and perspective. The photograph offers a captivating glimpse into London's rich history and the daily life of its residents over a century ago.
