EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcasing a traveller patiently waiting to be ferried across the Thames. The year is 1684, and London Bridge stands as the only crossing over the iconic river. In an era when there are some 40,000 Thames watermen navigating its waters, this image offers a glimpse into a bustling transport hub of historical significance.
The ferryboat, powered by skilled watermen, represents a vital mode of transportation for Londoners at the time. As we observe the lone figure standing on the dock, we can't help but imagine what thoughts might be running through their mind as they prepare to embark on their journey.
