EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic charm of Trafalgar Square in the late 1960s, as seen through the lens of Mary Evans Picture Library. The image features a serene scene of four iconic Routemaster London buses, each adorned with the red and white livery of the British Transport Corporation, queuing on the National Gallery side of the square. The South African High Commission building stands proudly in the background, adding an intriguing layer of international history to the scene. The fountains in the square, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, are prominently displayed in the foreground, their tranquil waters reflecting the grandeur of Sir Christopher Wren's Nelson's Column statue. The buses, with their distinctive front grilles and double-decker design, evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era in transport history. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when Trafalgar Square was a bustling hub of activity, with buses, tourists, and locals alike coming together to enjoy the cultural offerings of the National Gallery and the historic significance of the square. The South African embassy, with its modernist architecture, adds an intriguing contrast to the traditional British architecture that surrounds it. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of London's transport system but also a reminder of the city's diverse cultural heritage. The Routemaster buses, which were in service from 1954 to 2005, have become an enduring symbol of London's transport history, and this image captures their essence perfectly. The South African embassy, with its unique architectural style, adds an international flair to the scene, making this photograph a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era.
