EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Tothill Street in Westminster, circa 1750. The old, narrow cobblestone street, lined with ancient buildings, transports us to an era long past. Tothill Street, located in the heart of London, has a rich history that dates back to the 13th century. In this photograph, we can see the quaint, timber-framed houses with their intricate brickwork and ornate chimneys, which were typical of the architecture during this period. The street's name is believed to have originated from the Old English word 'toth,' meaning dead, and 'hyl,' meaning hill, referring to the location's proximity to the old Westminster Abbey cemetery. The serene scene is further enhanced by the absence of modern vehicles and the peaceful, quiet atmosphere, which was a stark contrast to the bustling city life of today. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse of the historic charm and character of Tothill Street in its earliest days. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical document, providing us with a tangible connection to the past and a reminder of the rich history that lies hidden in the heart of London.
