Holles Street, London: A Peek into the Past - Circa 1905 This postcard image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, specifically to Holles Street in London, off the famous Oxford Street. The scene unfolds before us with a charming blend of Edwardian architecture, bustling shops, and the quintessential British pavement life. At the heart of this vibrant street lies a building with an intriguing claim to fame. John Lewis, a well-known name in British retail today, once operated from this very location. However, this postcard is not about the company's commercial past but rather an intriguing historical connection. The building, adorned with elegant windows displaying an array of merchandise, houses a head and shoulders sculpture in a niche. This sculpture is believed to be dedicated to Lord Byron, the legendary English poet, who is said to have been born on this very spot. Lord Byron, born on January 22, 1788, is renowned for his romantic poetry and satirical wit. His works, including "Don Juan" and "She Walks in Beauty," continue to captivate readers around the world. The claim that he was born at this location, although not definitively proven, adds an interesting layer to the history of this bustling London street. As we gaze at this postcard, we are not only witnessing a snapshot of London's rich retail history but also a nod to its literary past. The combination of the John Lewis shop, the intriguing sculpture, and the lively street scene makes for a fascinating exploration into the history of this iconic city.
