EDITORS COMMENTS
Crowds in Deptford High Street shopping after dark, London, 1913. This print captures the bustling atmosphere of a bygone era. The dimly lit street is adorned with shop fronts, revealing glimpses of the vibrant commercial life that once thrived here. Among them stands Elstons Market, an iconic landmark that still evokes nostalgia to this day. As night falls on Edwardian London, both men and women can be seen strolling along the avenue, engrossed in their evening pastimes. The image showcases a diverse mix of individuals from all walks of life; their faces illuminated only by the faint glow of gas lamps lining the road. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the daily lives of ordinary people during this time period. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience found within communities like Deptford. Despite its monochrome palette, there is an undeniable energy emanating from these crowded streets. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for over a century, this photograph transports us back to an era when Deptford High Street was at its prime – under the watchful eye of London County Council (LCC) and Greater London Council (GLC). Let yourself get lost in time as you explore every detail captured within this remarkable piece of history.
