EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1901, offers a glimpse into the past of Gerrard Street in London's vibrant Soho neighborhood. The image, which is now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the unique character of this historic area that was once home to a diverse community of residents. At the heart of the scene is Drydens house, a charming red-brick building that once stood proudly on the street. Sadly, this beautiful house was demolished in 1901, making this photograph an invaluable record of its existence. The house, with its ornate detailing and large windows, was a striking contrast to the narrow, cobblestone street that surrounded it. Gerrard Street, located in the heart of London's Chinatown, has a rich history that dates back to the 17th century. In the early 1900s, it was a bustling hub of activity, with a mix of residents from various ethnic backgrounds, including Chinese, Jewish, and Irish communities. The area was known for its eclectic mix of shops, markets, and eateries, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The photograph captures the essence of this vibrant and diverse community, with people going about their daily business on the street. The horse-drawn carts and carriages add to the sense of history and tradition, while the colorful shop signs and laundry hanging out to dry add a touch of authenticity to the scene. This photograph is a fascinating reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the rich history and character of Gerrard Street and the Soho neighborhood. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in London's history, urban development, or social history of the early 1900s.
