Festivities at Chippenham - the High-Street, from the Bridge - Arrival of Mr. Neeld, M.P. 1850. Creator: Unknown
Festivities at Chippenham [in Wiltshire] - the High-Street, from the Bridge - Arrival of Mr. Neeld, M.P. 1850. Locals welcome their MP Joseph Neeld to celebrate the opening of the town's new cheese market, funded by Neeld. The whole of that part of the town through which the procession was expected to pass presented the appearance of rejoicings for some great triumph. Fir trees, planted for the occasion, lined the streets and road; festoons of evergreens and flowers extended across the streets in thick succession...[there was] a triumphal arch, surmounted by flags, and the word "Welcome" in flowers...it was a universal jubilee. The church bells rang, cannons fired, business was suspended the whole town was an emblazonment of flags and banners; every man and every woman and child waved welcome to Joseph Neeld'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Festivities at Chippenham - the High-Street, from the Bridge - Arrival of Mr. Neeld, M.P. 1850," showcases an exhilarating scene of celebration in the English town of Chippenham, Wiltshire. The image, created by an unknown artist, captures the joyous moment as the town's residents welcome their Member of Parliament, Joseph Neeld, to celebrate the opening of the new cheese market, funded by Neeld himself. The entire scene is filled with an air of triumph and jubilation. The streets and roads are adorned with fir trees, festooned with evergreens and flowers, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere. A triumphal arch, proudly displaying flags and the word "Welcome," stands tall, marking the entrance to the town. The church bells ring, cannons fire, and businesses suspend operations as the entire town comes alive with flags and banners. Every man, woman, and child waves welcome to Joseph Neeld, their esteemed representative. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the patriotic spirit of the 19th century. The horse-drawn carriage carrying Neeld makes its way through the archway, surrounded by a cheering crowd. The scene is a metaphor for the unity and pride of the community, coming together to celebrate their achievements and their representative. The photograph is a testament to the power of community spirit, politics, and the importance of local trade and commerce.
