EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in May 1901, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the electrification of Portsmouth's trams. The image captures a group of hardworking men diligently removing the old horse car rails from the Town Hall Square. Their determined expressions and sturdy attire reflect their commitment to progress and modernization. The scene is bustling with activity as workers maneuver carts filled with discarded rails, while others use various tools to pry them loose from the ground. Amidst this flurry of labor, an elegant horse-drawn cart stands prominently at the center, serving as a reminder of the traditional means of transportation that once dominated these streets. The composition is enhanced by its landscape format, allowing us to fully appreciate both the scale of the task at hand and the architectural beauty surrounding it. The grandeur of Portsmouth's Town Hall looms majestically in the background, providing a striking contrast between past and present. This remarkable photograph from Hulton Archive/Getty Images transports us back over a century ago when cities were undergoing rapid transformation through technological advancements. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for progress. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far society has come since those days when horses roamed these very streets.
