EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Marjory L Wight in the 1920s, transports us back in time to the picturesque town of Thaxted in Essex. The image, titled "Town Street, Thaxted," showcases a view looking north-west along Town Street, with its medieval timber-framed buildings and narrow cobblestone street. At the heart of the scene, the magnificent Guildhall stands proudly, a testament to Thaxted's rich history. The Guildhall, a Grade I listed building, is a fine example of late medieval architecture, boasting intricate carvings and beautiful half-timbering. The photograph also captures a moment in time as a car drives past, adding a touch of modernity to the otherwise medieval scene. In the foreground, a young boy can be seen, perhaps on an errand or out for an afternoon stroll, oblivious to the passing automobile. The people of Thaxted go about their daily business, adding to the hustle and bustle of the town. The timber-framed houses, some with thatched roofs, display their unique character and charm, inviting us to imagine the stories they could tell. Marjory L Wight's photograph is a beautiful snapshot of life in Thaxted during the 1920s, a time when the town retained much of its medieval charm while embracing the modern world. This image, preserved by Historic England, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and history of Thaxted.
