EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Southampton in the early 1900s, where W.L. Parkhouse, Watchmaker Jeweller, proudly displays his wares in the shop front located at 10 Above Bar. The image, published in the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Illustrated in 1905, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this bygone era. The meticulously crafted watch faces, gleaming with precision and intricacy, are arranged in neat rows, each one a testament to the skill and artistry of W.L. Parkhouse and his team. The windows are adorned with elegant jewellery boxes, filled with dazzling necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the time. The shop front itself is a marvel of Victorian design, with ornate mouldings and ornate glass panels that add to the allure of the establishment. The name "W.L. Parkhouse, Watchmaker Jeweller" is proudly displayed in elegant script, inviting passersby to step inside and explore the treasures within. Despite the passage of over a century, the photograph retains a timeless quality, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped Southampton and its people, and the enduring allure of the art of watchmaking and jewellery. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right but also a valuable historical document, offering a unique insight into the past and the craftsmanship of a bygone era. It is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to other times and places, and to remind us of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the smallest of details.
