EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1915 with this print of the Great Eastern Railway Bridge over Bow Road in Poplar, London. The bridge serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when ticket prices were incredibly affordable - advertised at just one penny for a single journey and twopence for a return trip. As you gaze upon the image, your eyes are drawn to the bustling street below, where tramlines run under the bridge. Due to the long exposure used to capture this photograph, the trams appear blurred in motion, creating an ethereal effect that transports you back to a bygone age. The cobbled streets add charm and character to the scene, while lettering on the bridge proudly displays its location and ownership by both Great Eastern Railway and London County Council. This collaboration between two prominent entities reflects their shared commitment towards providing efficient transportation options for Londoners. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers glimpses into everyday life during early 20th century London. It showcases how even small denominations of money held significant value then - pennies being carefully counted before embarking on journeys across town. With Tower Hamlets' iconic skyline visible in the distance, this image is more than just a snapshot; it is an invitation to explore history through visual storytelling. Let yourself be transported back over a century ago as you immerse yourself in this remarkable piece of heritage.
