EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, depicts Main Street in Mexborough, Yorkshire, England, during the King George VII Procession. The image showcases the vibrant atmosphere of the day as the townsfolk gathered to pay their respects to their monarch. At the heart of the scene, we find the shop-front premises of J Schonhut, a local pork butcher. The butcher's sign, adorned with a pig and the words "J. Schonhut, Pork Butcher," stands proudly above the entrance. The display window is filled with an array of fresh meats, enticing passersby with their appetizing appearance. Across the street, we can see the grand facade of The Clarence Hotel, its name prominently displayed above the entrance. The hotel, a popular destination for travelers and locals alike, adds to the bustling energy of the scene. The flags and banners hung outside, along with the crowd of people gathered around, evoke a sense of community and celebration. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of Main Street in Mexborough during a time of royal tradition and local pride. The image not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also showcases the unique character of this Yorkshire town.
