EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Princes Corner in Harborne, Birmingham, West Midlands, circa 1908. The photograph transports us to an era of horse-drawn carts, Edwardian architecture, and bustling city life. The scene is set on a sunlit street, where the pavement is filled with pedestrians, engaged in animated conversations or admiring the array of shops and stores. The corner building at the heart of the image is adorned with elegant sunblinds, shielding the interior from the sun's glare. The signs above the shops display an array of goods and services, from groceries to haberdashery, enticing passersby with their promises of quality and affordability. A horse-drawn cart, laden with goods, is parked at the kerb, its wheels turned towards the bustling crowd. A bus, a symbol of the modern age, is visible in the background, hinting at the gradual shift from horse-drawn transport to motorized vehicles. The scene is alive with the sounds, smells, and sights of a thriving community. The sun casts long shadows on the cobblestone street, adding to the sense of timelessness and charm. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and vibrant character of Harborne, Birmingham, and the West Midlands in the early 20th century.
