EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Rusholme Wilmslow Road in the early 1900s, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage image transports us to a bygone era, filled with the charm and character of late Victorian and Edwardian Manchester, England. The bustling Wilmslow Road, a major artery connecting the city center with the affluent suburbs, is lined with a diverse array of buildings, each telling its own story. On the left, a grand Victorian terraced house stands proudly, its intricate brickwork and ornate details a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. Across the street, a row of shops and businesses cater to the needs of the local community, from the grocer and butcher to the chemist and baker. At the heart of the scene, the iconic Manchester Corporation Tram makes its way down the road, its distinctive red and cream livery a common sight on the streets of the city. The tram, a symbol of progress and modernity, adds a sense of energy and movement to the otherwise static image. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of people, both on the sidewalks and in the street. Men in suits and women in elegant hats and dresses go about their daily business, while children play in the street, oblivious to the passing traffic. The atmosphere is one of community, with neighbors greeting each other warmly and shopkeepers engaging with their customers. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the everyday life of Manchester during the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that continues to shape the city today.
