Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Romford: Como Street This was an attempt to try to re-create a Francis Frith image of an ordinary street scene from 100 years ago. The Frith image can be seen here http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/essex/romford/photos/romford_59816.htm I did not quite get the angle right but the houses are recognisably the same. The identical houses on the right side of the street visible in the Frith version still exist by the way. This photograph was taken at the junction of Como Street with Brooklands Road to the left and Olive Street to the right. The houses must have been fairly new in 1908 as the 1897 Edition of the Ordnance Survey 6" to the mile map does not show them, although Como Street itself is shown.
Spot the differences! The furthest three in the first block of six have evidently lost their pitched roofs over the bay windows at some stage, and indeed this seems to have happened to most of the houses in the street. |
