EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Lower Clapton Road in Hackney, East London, dating back to 1905. The image showcases the charm and character of the Edwardian era, with its quaint buildings and lively street scene. On the right-hand side of the road, a large group of children are gathered on the pavement, their curious faces turned towards the camera. Boys in short trousers and collared shirts, and girls in dresses and bonnets, engage in animated conversations and playful banter. A few boys are even seen attempting to balance on a bicycle, their determination etched on their young faces. In the background, the imposing facade of the Kings Hall, a grand pub, dominates the scene. The pub's ornate sign, adorned with intricate designs and the promise of "ales saved from the barrel," beckons to passersby. The pub's sunblinds, or blinds, are drawn, providing a cool respite from the sun. A horse-drawn bus makes its way down the cobblestone road, its passengers peering out of the open windows, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling street. The bus, along with the bicycles scattered around, serves as a reminder of the transportation methods of the time. The buildings on either side of the road are adorned with sunblinds, adding to the vibrant and colorful scene. The children, the pub, the horse-drawn bus, and the buildings all come together to create a snapshot of life in Lower Clapton Road during the early 1900s.
