EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to the bustling streets of Preston, Lancashire in the 1950s. The image showcases the iconic House of Bewlay shop located at 24 Fishergate, a renowned tobacconist that was an integral part of the local community. The exterior view captures the essence of this beloved establishment, with its charming storefront and inviting display windows. The attention to detail is evident as we observe meticulously arranged tobacco products and elegant signage adorning the facade. It's a snapshot frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also glimpse into a bygone era. The House of Bewlay holds a special place in many people's hearts, serving as more than just a retail space for tobacco enthusiasts. It was a gathering spot where friends would meet and share stories over their favorite cigars or pipes. This photograph evokes nostalgia for those who remember frequenting such establishments during simpler times. Thanks to Historic England Archive's preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this piece of history firsthand. Through this image, we can almost hear echoes of conversations and laughter that once filled these walls.
