EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of the "New Milkstall" in St. James's Park, London, circa 1905. This charming farm stall, nestled amidst the bustling city, offers a delightful glimpse into the past when the countryside came to the city. The Latin quote on the card, "Rus in Urbe" (the countryside in the city), encapsulates the essence of this unique establishment. The New Milkstall was a popular destination for Londoners seeking a taste of rural life in the heart of the metropolis. The stall's offerings included fresh milk, carried in traditional pails, as well as carbonated water, a novelty at the time, and an assortment of treats such as chocolate, cheese, and biscuits. Brands like Fry's and Cadbury's were already well-established, and their products would have been familiar to many. The scene is filled with intriguing details that transport us to a bygone era. Peek into the wooden pails stacked high with milk, watch as the vendor expertly pours a glass of carbonated water from the aerated machine, and marvel at the simple yet elegant display of treats. The New Milkstall in St. James's Park offers a captivating window into London's rich history and the enduring appeal of the countryside in the city.
