Sinopsis

Excerpt from Random Recollections of an Old Actor

What changes I have seen in my day in all things! With gas came a wonderful transmutation. Where Regent Street now stands, we passed through wretchedly-constructed shops, covered with tarpaulin, and barely habitable; while off the pavement, and nearly to the middle of the street, hawkers carried on a brisk trade. In fact, small markets existed where stalls, laden with meat, vegetables, fried fish, pastry, and other edibles, rendered the roadway, on foot or in vehicle, almost impassable. The steady march of im provement swept away these rat-holes, and few that pass in these days Holborn Bars - the Strand, near Northumberland House then now non-existent have any idea of what its appearance was in those times.
