EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blast from the Past: Coal Delivery in St George's Square, Pimlico, London 2.. Step back in time with this image of St George's Square in the heart of Pimlico, London, as a coal delivery takes place in the early 20th century. The photograph, taken from a distance, showcases the hustle and bustle of a bygone era, with horse-drawn coal wagons parked in the middle distance, their sacks filled with the precious fuel that once powered the city. 3. The square, surrounded by elegant Georgian and Victorian houses, is a tranquil oasis in the midst of the industrial activity. Children play in the foreground, oblivious to the coal delivery happening just beyond their reach. The cobblestone streets and ornate iron railings add to the historical charm of the scene. 4. Coal was a vital commodity in London during this period, with the city's population relying heavily on it for heating and cooking. The delivery process was a daily occurrence, and the coal wagons, pulled by horses, were a common sight on the streets. 5. The coal was transported from the wagons to the houses using wheelbarrows or sacks carried on the backs of labourers. The deliverymen would often carry the sacks up several flights of stairs, making the job physically demanding and laborious. 6. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of London's coal deliveries and the daily life of Pimlico residents during the early 1900s. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich past and the role that coal played in shaping its development. 7. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of history and the importance of preserving the stories and moments that have shaped our world. This photograph from Mary Evans Prints Online is a must-have for history buffs, London enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the social and industrial history of the city.
