EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Salisbury in the 1920s. Standing tall and proud, the Poultry Cross (Market Cross) takes center stage, its intricate design a testament to the rich history of this ancient city. As we gaze upon it from Silver Street, our eyes are drawn to Joseph Powney's shop at number 36, which sits gracefully in the foreground. The scene is alive with activity - pedestrians stroll along the cobbled street, going about their daily routines. The air is filled with anticipation as locals gather around market stalls nearby, eager to purchase fresh produce or engage in lively conversations. The charm of this era is palpable; it feels like stepping into a bygone time where simplicity and community were cherished values. Katherine MacFee's expertly captured image offers us a glimpse into an enchanting moment frozen in time. It reminds us of how architecture can shape a place's identity and how businesses like Joseph Powney's played an integral role within these vibrant communities. As we admire this remarkable photograph print from Historic England, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us through history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be remnants of our past that deserve recognition and preservation for future generations to cherish.
