EDITORS COMMENTS
This Edwardian-era photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a group of men standing on Marple's medieval Roman Bridge, located near Stockport in Cheshire, England. The date of this image is estimated to be around 1906. The man in the center of the group is identified as George Potter, a friend and employee of Ernest Battersby, who is seen on the right-hand side of the image. The men, dressed in typical Edwardian attire, exude a sense of camaraderie as they gaze out at the picturesque scene before them. The Roman Bridge, a historical landmark, is a testament to the rich history of the area. Despite its name, the bridge is actually medieval in origin, having been built around the 14th century. The bridge spans the River Goyt and connects the towns of Marple and Mellor, making it an essential transportation hub for the community. The men in this photograph may have been out for a leisurely stroll or perhaps on a break from their work at the nearby factories or mills. Regardless of their reason for being there, the scene captures a moment in time when the beauty of the past intersected with the daily lives of these Edwardian-era men. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the history and traditions of Marple and the surrounding areas. The Roman Bridge, a symbol of the past, continues to stand as a reminder of the rich heritage that lies within the heart of Cheshire.
