EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1914 with this print of the railway bridge across Globe Road in Bethnal Green, London. The image beautifully captures the architectural features of the era, showcasing the grandeur of the archway and avenue beneath it. As you gaze at this deserted scene, a Great Eastern Railway advertisement catches your eye. Promoting single and return fares at just a penny and twopence, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed in terms of transportation costs over the past century. The cobbled streets add an authentic touch to the picture, transporting you to a bygone era where coinage was still prevalent. The lampposts lining the road provide dim lighting that adds to the gloomy yet intriguing atmosphere. On one side stands Devonshire Street Station's entrance, offering access to those seeking travel opportunities during that time. It is fascinating to imagine commuters passing through these very gates on their daily journeys. This photograph is not only a visual representation but also a glimpse into history - capturing both architecture and transportation trends from early 20th-century London. With its monochrome charm and lonely ambiance, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when pennies held greater value.
