EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Skeens and Paine, Millernery and Drapers, a charming shop front located in Elm Grove, Southsea, Hampshire. This photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the bustling commercial district of Southsea as it once was. The storefront, adorned with ornate woodwork and intricate details, invites passersby to explore the treasures within. The nameplates of Skeens and Paine and Millernery and Drapers are proudly displayed, reflecting the diverse range of goods and services offered. The large display windows showcase an array of textiles, hats, and other fashionable items, enticing potential customers. The street scene beyond the shop front is filled with activity. Horse-drawn carriages and bicycles line the cobblestone streets, while pedestrians, dressed in their Sunday best, stroll along the pavement, engaged in animated conversation. The atmosphere is lively and vibrant, a testament to the thriving community of Southsea. This photograph, taken from the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Illustrated in 1905, is a precious reminder of the rich history and character of Southsea. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once shopped at Skeens and Paine, Millernery and Drapers, and to appreciate the charm and allure of a bygone era.
