A Zebra-driven carriage on Brixton St. London, ca 1910-16 Ccolorized by Alex Lim

Here's a colorized photo of a vintage street scene ca 1910-17 - a zebra-driven carriage leaving Brixton and heading for Stockwell at a time when carriages mixed with cars on the streets. Zebras were seen driving carriages in London between 1880 and 1930. (The electrified trams didn't arrive in Brixton until 1904). The Quin and Axtens department store incorporated in 1880s had its ads on the bridge. The company ended with a single bomb from the German blitzkrieg in 1944
