EDITORS COMMENTS
Orford Road, Walthamstow, London: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1907, presents a charming scene of Orford Road in Walthamstow, London. The image showcases the picturesque blend of St. Mary's Church and Harrisons Auction Rooms on the right-hand side of the street. St. Mary's Church, with its distinctive bell tower and intricate stonework, stands proudly at the end of the road. The church, which dates back to the 14th century, has been a landmark and spiritual center for the community for centuries. Adjacent to St. Mary's Church is Harrisons Auction Rooms. In 1934, an intriguing transformation took place on Orford Road. The timber cladding was removed from the Tudor house that housed the auction rooms, revealing an elegant half-timbered facade. This restoration brought to light the rich history and character hidden beneath the cladding, adding to the allure of this historic street. The photograph transports us back to the 1900s and 1910s, a time when life moved at a slower pace. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians share the cobblestone road with horse-drawn delivery carts, creating a bustling yet peaceful scene. The quaint architecture, the vibrant community life, and the sense of history make this photograph a cherished reminder of the past. This image, from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rights-managed print that invites us to explore the rich history and charm of Orford Road in Walthamstow, London.
