EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Preston's rich textile heritage during the Guild Week Celebrations of 1922. The Textile Procession, held in Preston, Lancashire, England, was a grand annual event that celebrated the city's long-standing textile industry. The procession featured intricately designed floats, each representing a different textile guild, adorned with textiles and textile workers in traditional attire. The photograph showcases a sea of people lining the streets, eagerly watching as the floats make their way through the town. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and pride as the community comes together to honor their textile heritage. The floats are pulled by horses, adding to the traditional and nostalgic feel of the event. The Textile Procession was an important tradition in Preston, reflecting the city's history as a major textile manufacturing hub. The industry had been a significant contributor to the local economy since the 17th century, with Preston being known for its production of cotton, wool, and silk. The Guild Week Celebrations provided an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the industry's past achievements and future prospects. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of Preston's textile industry and the community that supported it. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the pride and tradition that defined Preston during the early 20th century.
