EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Holcrofts and the Priory, Fulham (c1878)", offers a glimpse into the past. The image showcases a view of Fulham Road, with Holcrofts Hall on the left and Holcrofts Priory on the right. In this bustling scene, sheep are being driven down the street while people travel in a horse-drawn cart. Holcrofts Hall, constructed around 1700, holds historical significance as it was once home to English actress and contralto opera singer Madame Lucia Vestris (1797-1856). At that time, Fulham was a quaint village situated along the River Thames but has since become an integral part of greater London. The photograph is sourced from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places". Volume VI by Edward Walford. Published by Cassell Petter Galpin & Co. , London Paris & New York in approximately 1878. This monochrome snapshot transports us back to 19th-century Britain—a time when horse-drawn vehicles dominated road transport. The image captures not only architectural landmarks but also provides insight into daily life during that era. It serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while retaining elements of their rich heritage.
