EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in the late 1890s, King William Street in London comes alive with the hustle and bustle of the city. The focal point of the image is the imposing statue of King William IV, who reigned from 1830 to 1837. The statue, which once stood proudly in front of St Mary's Church on the main gate of Greenwich Park, was moved to this location in the 1890s due to the demolition of the church. The statue, perched atop its ornate plinth, gazes out over the bustling street. The traffic is heavy, with horse-drawn carriages and buses jostling for position, and the sound of their hooves and engines filling the air. The shops along the street are adorned with colorful awnings, inviting passersby to step inside and browse their wares. Among the crowd, a man in a top hat and overcoat walks his dog, while a woman with a cake in hand stops to admire the scene. A National Truss Society badge is visible on the shoulder of another man, indicating his membership in the organization dedicated to promoting good posture and health. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the technological advancements of the time, with Hildyard's Patent buses making their way down the street. The image is a testament to the vibrant energy and diversity of London in the late 19th century. Despite the passage of time, this photograph remains a fascinating window into the past, transporting us back to a bygone era and offering a glimpse into the rich history of King William Street and the surrounding area.
