EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1911. Located at the corner of Putney High Street and Putney Bridge Road, it captures a vibrant scene filled with shops and signs that once led visitors to the popular Putney Roller Skating Rink. The image showcases a charming greengrocers shop, its window adorned with fresh produce, enticing passersby. The photograph not only offers a glimpse into early 20th-century entertainment but also serves as a reminder of how urban landscapes evolve over time. Sadly, these historic buildings have long been demolished, leaving behind only memories and this precious snapshot frozen in time. As we explore this monochrome masterpiece from the Guildhall Library Art Gallery collection, we are transported to an era when roller skating was a beloved sport enjoyed by many. The sign pointing towards the rink hints at the excitement and joy that awaited those who ventured inside. Preserved by the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC), this image is more than just an archival document; it is a testament to our ever-changing cityscape. It reminds us of our responsibility to cherish our heritage while embracing progress. Let this photograph transport you back in time as you imagine yourself strolling along Putney Bridge Road, admiring quaint shops on street corners, all leading towards an evening of exhilarating roller-skating fun at the now-vanished Putney Roller Skating Rink.
