EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time on Lower Richmond Road, Putney, Wandsworth, Greater London. Taken by William O Field in the 1880s, this print showcases the bustling urban scene of that era. In the foreground stands the iconic Eight Bells public house, its grand Victorian architecture demanding attention. To its right is Clyde House, a stately residence exuding elegance and charm. The juxtaposition of these two buildings perfectly encapsulates the diverse architectural styles prevalent during this period. As our gaze travels further into the distance, we are greeted by St Mary's Church standing tall against an overcast sky. Its spire reaches for the heavens while providing solace to those seeking spiritual refuge amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia as it transports us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobbled streets and gas lamps illuminated evening walks. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed since then while also celebrating London's rich history. This particular photograph can be found in William Fields's collection titled "Photographs of Putney" curated by Dorian Gerhold and Michael Bull for the Wandsworth Historical Society. It offers viewers an invaluable glimpse into Victorian-era London through Field's expert lens.
