EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Brighton Road in Crawley, West Sussex, dating back to circa 1908. The image showcases a bustling street scene filled with Edwardian-era charm. On the left, the grand Imperial Picture Theatre stands proudly, its ornate signage illuminating the night sky. The theatre was a popular entertainment venue, offering a much-needed escape from the daily grind for the local community. Across the road, a railway level crossing interrupts the flow of traffic. Horses and carts are seen waiting patiently for the trains to pass, while motor cars line up for repairs at Hibbs and Son's garage. The AA and Michelin signs can be spotted among the shops and businesses, signifying the growing popularity of automobiles. The pavement is filled with people, some dressed in their Sunday best, while others are casually attired. The shops along the street sell a variety of goods, from groceries to haberdashery, catering to the diverse needs of the community. The cobblestone street and gas lamps add to the old-world charm, making this photograph a fascinating glimpse into the past. This image offers a unique look at the daily life of Crawley during the early 1900s, providing a window into a bygone era. The Imperial Picture Theatre, railway level crossing, and the bustling shops and businesses on Brighton Road all contribute to the rich history and character of this charming Sussex town.
