EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Maidstone town centre from the early 20th century. The image, estimated to date from the 1890s, showcases the bustling heart of this historic English town as it once was. At the centre of the frame stands the imposing Queens Monument, a statue of Queen Victoria, proudly presented to the town in 1862. Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901, making her the longest-serving monarch in British history. The monument, a symbol of loyalty and respect, remains a cherished landmark in Maidstone today. The photograph also reveals the town's rich transport history, with trams making their way through the streets. Trams were a common sight in Maidstone from the late 19th century until the 1930s, providing an essential means of transport for locals and visitors alike. The trams, along with the horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, add to the vibrant atmosphere of this bygone era. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the clatter of hooves, the hum of tram engines, and the chatter of the crowd. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, offering a unique glimpse into Maidstone's past and the daily life of its residents during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
