Then and Now: Atlantic Road by Pope's Road (2)
Photographic comparisons of old and modern views of Lambeth



c. 1900 A similar view looking towards Coldharbour Lane. Note the 'Pocock Bros, the Boot People' sign on the right and the line of stalls on the left hand side of the street. A watchful constable stands under the gas lamp by the railway bridge while a lone cyclist heads for the photographer.

July 2003 I imagine the character of Atlantic Road has barely changed over a hundred years, with the street remaining a bustling shopping area. Although extensively remodeled in recent years, the arches still host a row of independent shops.
