EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Stratford Broadway in East London. The image showcases a vibrant and lively scene, filled with a diverse mix of people and architectural gems. At the heart of the scene stands the Samuel Gurney obelisk, an imposing monument that serves as a focal point for the community. The obelisk, named after the local philanthropist and reformer, Samuel Gurney, adds a sense of history and grandeur to the urban landscape. Surrounding the obelisk are an array of shops and buildings, their facades adorned with intricate details and ornate designs. The pavement is filled with pedestrians, some deep in conversation, others engrossed in their daily errands. The sound of traffic can be heard in the background, as buses and other vehicles navigate the busy roads. Two churches, with their distinctive spires, can be seen in the distance, adding to the eclectic mix of architecture and history that defines this area of Stratford. The overall atmosphere is one of energy and vitality, as the people of East London go about their daily lives. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the history and character of Stratford Broadway in the early 1900s.
