South Parade
circa 1920
This elegant view down South Parade in Doncaster, taken around 1920, captures a moment of transition. Horse-drawn carts still trundle along the roadside, but the electric tram, gliding confidently on steel tracks beneath a web of overhead wires, signals the dawn of modern transport.
Tree-lined and flanked by solid Victorian terraces, the street feels both grand and orderly. You can almost hear the bell of the tram and the murmurs of pedestrians—gentle echoes of a town adapting to the future while holding onto the familiar.
