EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mill Lane: from Deptford Broadway, London, 1895" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian England. Captured by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of the London Metropolitan Archives collection. The scene depicts a vibrant street view with rows of houses and shops lining both sides of the cobbled road. The architectural facades showcase the intricate details that were characteristic of that era. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of daily life, we notice pedestrians strolling along the sidewalks and a cart making its way through the busy thoroughfare. One intriguing element within this photograph is an advertisement for The Weekly Dispatch prominently displayed on one of the buildings. This serves as a reminder of how newspapers played a vital role in disseminating news and information during that time. As we immerse ourselves in this slice of social history, it becomes evident that Mill Lane was not just any ordinary street; it was a hub where people went about their daily routines – men going to work, boys playing games, and residents engaging with their community. Through this remarkable piece captured over a century ago by an anonymous English photographer, we are transported to Deptford Broadway – witnessing firsthand the essence and charm of Victorian London.
