EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1942, immersing us in the bustling atmosphere of Tuesday Market Place in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn towards numbers 18 and 19 standing proudly amidst a row of Georgian houses. The rain-soaked cobblestone streets reflect the somber sky above, adding a touch of melancholy to the scene. The image captures not only the architectural beauty but also the commercial spirit that thrived during those times. One cannot help but notice the prominent signage of Sommerfeld and Thomas Ltd adorning one of these historic buildings. Although it is intriguing to ponder what role this company played within these walls, let's refrain from delving into its commercial use for now. As we continue our visual journey through this photograph, our attention shifts towards an open car park adjacent to these grand structures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war-torn Britain, life carried on with resilience and determination. George Bernard Mason's skillful composition transports us back almost eight decades ago when daily life unfolded against a backdrop filled with history and uncertainty. This print stands as a testament to both human tenacity and architectural elegance that have shaped Tuesday Market Place throughout generations.
