EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Norwich, Norfolk. The image, titled "Norwich CGH01_01_0537" captures a picturesque view from the west along a road that leads towards a magnificent carriage arch. Standing tall and proud in the background is the majestic tower of St Peter Mancroft Church, adding an air of grandeur to this historic scene. The photograph was expertly drawn by Charles George Harper between 1892 and 1933, showcasing his remarkable talent for capturing architectural beauty. However, what makes this image even more intriguing is the fact that all elements depicted here have long since been demolished. It serves as a poignant reminder of how cities evolve over time, with buildings coming and going as progress marches forward. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are transported to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobbled streets and people bustled about their daily lives. The surrounding buildings exude charm and character, each one telling its own story through intricate details in their architecture. Through Historic England's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this snapshot from history – frozen in time for future generations to marvel at. This print offers us a glimpse into Norwich's rich heritage while reminding us of the importance of preserving our cultural past for years to come.
