EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Shrewsbury in 1895. Standing tall and proud, the Old Market Hall dominates the scene with its exquisite architecture. The photographer has skillfully captured this iconic landmark from a unique perspective, allowing us to marvel at its grandeur. As we gaze upon this historic gem, our eyes are drawn to the figures standing around underneath the ground floor arcade. These individuals, frozen in time, give us a glimpse into daily life during this era. Some appear deep in conversation while others seem lost in thought as they go about their business. The atmosphere is palpable; one can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages passing by and catch snippets of lively conversations echoing through the air. It's as if we have been transported back to a time when markets were not just places for commerce but also vibrant social hubs where people gathered to exchange news and stories. This print serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and human connection. It reminds us that even amidst progress and change, there are timeless elements that bind communities together across generations. Preserved within Historic England Archive's vast collection, this image allows us to appreciate our rich heritage and reflect on how far we've come since those days gone by.
