EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1870 by the renowned English photographer, Dore, captures the bustling activity within the vast, brick-built warehouses of Pickle Herring Street in London. The image transports us back in time to the heart of the 19th century European trade scene. Workers in heavy, woolen coats and caps are seen busily moving about the dimly lit, cavernous interior. They engage in various tasks, from sorting and packing parcels to loading and unloading goods using pulleys and ropes. The atmosphere is one of industry and efficiency, as the workers deliver and receive goods with a sense of urgency. The warehouse's high ceilings and expansive floor space allowed for the efficient storage and transportation of goods, which were often delivered in large, heavy parcels. The use of pulleys and ropes for lifting and transporting goods was a common practice during this era, enabling the efficient movement of heavy items between different levels of the warehouse. The scene depicted in this photograph is a testament to the importance of trade and transportation during the 19th century. The warehouses of Pickle Herring Street served as crucial hubs for the distribution of goods, connecting Europe's various markets and economies. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of London's bustling commercial district, providing a fascinating window into the past.
