In this captivating collection snapshots from around the world, we are transported back in time to witness the vibrant energy and diverse scenes that unfolded on these bustling intersections. The first image takes us to Guildford in January 1951, where black and white advertising boards line the streets, showcasing products and services of a bygone era. The photograph, captured by Shirley Markham, immerses us in a nostalgic atmosphere. Next, we find ourselves sitting alongside locals on a street corner in La Habana Vieja (Old Town), Havana, Cuba. The year is unknown but the charm of this historic district is undeniable. As people gather here to rest or engage in lively conversations, one can almost feel the rich cultural heritage that permeates every cobblestone. Traveling back further in time to 1870s New York City's "Five Points, " we encounter old houses standing proudly at another iconic street corner. This scene harks back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these roads as residents went about their daily lives amidst a rapidly changing urban landscape. Fast forward to London's Tottenham Court Road circa 1900; a crowd fills the streets with activity and purpose. Amidst towering buildings adorned with signs and storefronts teeming with life, it becomes evident that even then city dwellers were drawn together at these corners - connecting through commerce or simply enjoying each other's company. Venturing southward into Andalusia's Granada brings us face-to-face with picturesque beauty at yet another enchanting street corner within Albayzin district. Here, narrow alleyways wind their way up hillsides while colorful buildings stand as testaments to centuries-old architecture blending seamlessly with modern life. Returning once more to Havana’s Old Town – La Habana Vieja – we discover people leisurely seated on yet another inviting street corner. Their relaxed postures suggest moments stolen from busy schedules.
