EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures the bustling scene of New Cavendish Street in London's W1 postal district. The image showcases a vibrant and lively street filled with people going about their daily business. The pavement is lined with an eclectic mix of shops and stores, each with their unique character and charm. At the corner of New Cavendish Street and the busy road, the eye is drawn to the prominent sign of "Lilley & Skinner." Though not the well-known company of the same name, this establishment appears to be a thriving business, with its large display windows showcasing an array of goods. Sunblinds hang outside some of the other shops, adding a touch of Edwardian elegance to the scene. The sun casts a warm glow on the buildings, bringing out the intricate details of their facades. Horse-drawn carriages and motorcars share the narrow road, adding to the sense of movement and energy in the scene. The traffic is heavy, yet the pedestrians seem unfazed, as they navigate the busy street with purpose and determination. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of London during the Edwardian era. The hustle and bustle of the street, the diverse mix of shops, and the blend of old and new transportation methods all contribute to the rich tapestry of this historic moment in time.
