Easby Abbey in the 1930s: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken in the 1930s, transports us back in time to the enchanting Easby Abbey in the heart of Yorkshire, North England. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a rare and vintage perspective of this historic site. Easby Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery, was founded in 1152 and boasts a rich history that spans over eight centuries. This photograph, taken during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, captures the abbey in its early days of restoration. The ruins, bathed in the soft, golden light of the sun, exude an ethereal charm that speaks to the beauty and resilience of history. The photograph is a testament to the past, with the abbey's intricate stonework and gothic arches standing proud against the backdrop of the lush, green landscape. The use of a lantern slide adds to the nostalgic feel, transporting us back to a time when photography was a cherished art form. The tranquility of the scene is further emphasized by the absence of modern distractions. The only sounds that can be heard are the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds. The photograph invites us to imagine the monks who once called this place home, their daily routines, and the stories they would have shared around the fire. Easby Abbey in the 1930s is a precious reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into a time when history was still being written. This photograph is not just a beautiful work of art, but a connection to the past, a reminder of the rich heritage that surrounds us, and a testament to the enduring beauty of Yorkshire's North Dales.
