EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling Market Hill in Sudbury, Suffolk, around 1850. The image beautifully captures the essence of a vibrant town center during the 19th century. Standing tall and proud is St Peters Church, an architectural marvel that has been a cornerstone of this community for centuries. To its right stands the Corn Exchange, a relatively new addition to Sudbury's landscape at the time, built in 1841. The scene is alive with activity as people go about their daily lives. The street is filled with market stalls and traders selling their wares, creating a lively atmosphere that epitomizes small-town England during this era. This snapshot into history allows us to witness not only the economic importance of markets but also how religion played a central role in shaping communities. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Walker, whose attention to detail and composition brings every element of this scene to life. Preserved through time and now presented as a print from "English Cities and Small Towns" by John Betjeman (1943), it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and valuable historical documentation. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand the charm and character that defined towns like Sudbury in mid-19th century Britain.
