EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of Horse-drawn trams passing in the historic heart of Oxford, England, circa 1905. Captured by renowned photographer Henry Taunt, this image offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the quintessential charm of the Edwardian era. The tranquil scene unfolds on High Street, Oxford's most famous thoroughfare, where two horse-drawn trams gracefully navigate the cobblestone streets. Adorned with advertising panels atop their roofs, these trams were once a common sight in the city, providing affordable transportation for its residents and visitors. Magdalen Bridge, a picturesque landmark that spans the River Thames, can be seen in the background. In 1899, the Oxford Local Board widened this iconic bridge to accommodate the growing number of horse-drawn trams. However, the advent of motor buses by 1913 marked the beginning of the end for these elegant modes of transport. This photograph is a testament to a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. As you admire the horse-drawn trams passing in the sun-dappled streets of Oxford, you can almost hear the gentle clip-clop of hooves on the cobblestones and the lively chatter of passengers. A truly enchanting moment frozen in time.
