EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Views of Oldham, Lancashire" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. Captured by an English photographer, this image showcases the rich history and industrial heritage of Oldham, a town located in Greater Manchester. The scene depicts the bustling streets and roads of Oldham, with its iconic landmarks such as Curzon Street and the Star Inn pub. The dark satanic mills loom in the background, emitting smoke from their chimneys, symbolizing the thriving manufacturing industry that once dominated this area. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when factories and mills were at their peak. Intriguingly, this postcard also hints at German influence with mentions of Germany and Germans. Perhaps it reflects cultural exchanges or historical connections between these two nations during that time period. The photo's composition is enhanced by various types of bridges - pedestrian bridges made of wood or stone alongside a suspension bridge. These architectural elements add depth to the image while showcasing different styles prevalent during that era. Overall, this photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into Oldham's past; it encapsulates both its industrial prowess and architectural beauty. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring our shared history.
