EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a bygone era with an image of Fred and Elsie Boulton, a father-daughter team, standing proudly by their bakery delivery van in the heart of Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England. The year is circa 1925, and the scene is set in The Horsefair, where their family bakery was located. Fred, with a confident and determined expression, is shown in front of the van, ready to embark on his daily delivery route. Elsie, dressed in a simple yet elegant blouse and apron, stands beside him, her arms folded, a sense of pride and accomplishment evident on her face. The bakery, a beloved institution in the community, was a family business that relied on the dedication and hard work of its members. Fred was responsible for delivering the freshly baked goods to the townsfolk, while Elsie worked tirelessly in the bakery, ensuring that every loaf of bread and pastry was of the highest quality. The delivery van, devoid of any livery, is a testament to the simplicity and authenticity of their business. The Horsefair, a bustling marketplace, provides the perfect backdrop for this heartwarming scene. The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carts, and the sound of lively conversations create an atmosphere that transports us back to the 1920s. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the close-knit communities that thrived during this era and the importance of family-owned businesses in providing essential services to their towns and villages.
