EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of a queue for buses in the industrial town of Burnley, Lancashire, during what appears to be the annual Wakes Week celebration, likely in the 1930s. The photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and communal spirit. The image is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement as people of all ages wait patiently in line, dressed in their best Edwardian and Victorian attire. Children, dressed in short trousers and blouses, cling to their mothers' hands, while men in flat caps and women in long skirts and bonnets chat amicably with one another. In the background, several double-decker buses can be seen parked at the bus stop, their engines idling, ready to transport the eager passengers to their next destination. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, adding to the sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time. Wakes Week was an annual tradition in the mill towns of Lancashire, where workers would take a week off from their jobs to enjoy a well-deserved break. The week was filled with activities, including trips to the seaside, picnics in the park, and outings to the countryside. This photograph captures the essence of that tradition, a time when community and togetherness were at the heart of working-class life in Burnley and beyond. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and people came together to celebrate the simple joys of life. It is a testament to the power of community and the enduring spirit of the people of Burnley and Lancashire.
