EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of G. Munday, the Fishmonger and Poulterer, in the heart of Cliftonville, Kent, circa 1909. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, with its rich details that tell a story of a thriving local business and the daily life of a seaside community. At the center of the scene, we see Mr. Munday himself, standing proudly beside his horse-drawn van. He wears a high-class, double-breasted apron, emblazoned with the name "G. Munday" and the logo of a fish and a chicken, symbolizing his dual roles as a fishmonger and poulterer. The van, adorned with intricate designs and a large sign, is a testament to the high standards and quality of his business. Surrounding Mr. Munday are a variety of fresh produce, including a large, beautifully displayed tuna fish and poultry, arranged on the van and on the ground. The fishmonger's assistants are busy at work, preparing and packing the goods for customers. The horse, seemingly calm amidst the commotion, patiently waits for its next journey. The photograph also reveals the vibrant atmosphere of Cliftonville, with its lively streets, colorful buildings, and the iconic Margate Dreamland amusement park in the background. This snapshot of history offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of local businesses and the role they played in the daily lives of communities, as well as the rich cultural heritage of the seaside town of Cliftonville in Kent.
