EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling scene from the streets of London in 1906. A long queue of people patiently waits at a bus stop along Blackfriars Road, their anticipation palpable as they eagerly await their turn to board the buses. The backdrop showcases a railway bridge towering above, adding an industrial charm to the cityscape. At the corner of Southward Road stands I Cohens warehouse, its presence lending a sense of commerce and industry to this vibrant avenue. The cobblestone road beneath their feet adds character to this snapshot in time, reminding us of the bygone era when horse-drawn carriages still shared these streets with early motorized vehicles. Both men and women can be seen among the crowd - some engrossed in conversation while others quietly observe their surroundings. This photograph is not just a glimpse into transportation history but also serves as a testament to London's growth and development during the 20th century. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on how public transport has evolved over time, shaping our cities and connecting communities. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this image allows us to step back in time and witness firsthand what it was like for Londoners waiting for public transport more than a century ago. As we gaze upon this moment frozen in monochrome, we are reminded that even amidst change and progress, certain aspects of urban life remain timeless - such as queues forming at busy bus stops on bustling city streets.
