EDITORS COMMENTS
Bishops Court with boarded-up houses, London, 1906. This print offers a glimpse into the forgotten streets of early 20th century London. The view captures the desolate atmosphere of an abandoned alleyway in Bishops Court, as it stretches out towards the entrance to the street. The image tells a story of neglect and dereliction, showcasing buildings that have fallen into disrepair within this once bustling city. It is evident that this area was part of the Aylesbury Place Improvement Scheme, as indicated by a poster on one of the walls put up by the London County Council. The poster provides details about their Clerkenwell & Holborn improvement scheme from 1899. This monochrome snapshot invites us to reflect upon a time when these streets were vibrant and full of life but have now been left neglected. The photograph serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over time and highlights the importance of urban planning for future generations. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this historical artifact allows us to step back in time and witness an era long gone. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, we are transported to early 20th century England where boarded-up houses line deserted lanes; it is both hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking.
