EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this postcard from Wood Green and Alexandra Park in London, circa 1905. The image showcases the picturesque scenery of the area, featuring various landmarks that once were integral parts of daily life. At the heart of the scene, Riversdale Gardens on Buckingham Road and Alexandra Park Road can be seen, with their lush greenery and elegant architecture. In the foreground, Palace Gates Railway Station and Wood Green Railway Station are depicted, both bustling with activity as passengers boarded and disembarked from trains. A balloon with a delighted passenger ascending into the sky adds a touch of whimsy to the scene, while the iconic Palace, with its grand gates, stands proudly in the background. Harcourt Road and The Mansion are also visible, adding to the sense of history and charm. The inset of the postcard, quite remarkably, is a reproduction of picture 10997540. It features Dr. Barton and his Famous Airship, an early pioneer in aviation. The image of the airship, with its impressive size and the determined look on the pilot's face, is a testament to the spirit of innovation and adventure that defined the era. This postcard is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of Wood Green and Alexandra Park in London during a time of great change. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with its horse-drawn carriages, Victorian architecture, and the promise of adventure in the skies above.
