EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, taken in the year 1875, captures the charming Cake House in Hyde Park, a beloved destination for visitors during the time of Queen Anne. In earlier centuries, this quaint building was famously known by various names such as the Cheesecake House, Cake House, or Minced-pie House, reflecting the delicious treats sold within. The Cake House served as a refreshing pit stop for those enjoying the picturesque surroundings of Hyde Park. During the 18th century, the Cake House was run by a widow named Frances Price, who continued the tradition of providing delectable treats to weary travelers. The building's warm and inviting atmosphere made it a cherished part of Hyde Park, offering a momentary respite from the bustling city life. As time passed, the Cake House became known as Prices Lodge, preserving the memory of its esteemed former proprietor. However, by the 19th century, this historical landmark was sadly demolished, leaving behind only memories and stories for future generations to cherish. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Cake House in Hyde Park stood as a testament to the simple pleasures of life – a warm cup of tea, a slice of cake, and the company of nature.
