Corner Devonshire Marylebone Mist Misty Pollution Railings Residential Wimpole Upper


EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative image of Upper Wimpole Street and Devonshire Street in London's fashionable Marylebone district, circa 1905. The scene is set by the elegant Edwardian architecture, with its intricately detailed facades and ornate railings. Upper Wimpole Street, a tranquil residential road, is seen on the corner, its pavement dotted with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians wrapped in thick coats against the chill in the air. Devonshire Street, a quieter and more secluded thoroughfare, can be glimpsed behind, its cobblestones barely visible under a veil of mist. The atmosphere is one of quietude and refinement, a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Yet, even in this idyllic setting, signs of the era's progress are present: gas lamps line the streets, and the occasional motorcar can be seen making its way through the mist. The air is thick with a soft, damp mist, hinting at the presence of pollution, a harbinger of the industrial revolution that was soon to change the face of London forever. Despite this, the image exudes a sense of timeless beauty, inviting us to imagine the lives of those who once called this corner of the city home. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, is a testament to the enduring charm of London's historic streets and serves as a reminder of the rich history that lies hidden in plain sight.
