EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sherborne in 1939 BB056812" takes us back to the charming streets of Newland, Sherborne, Dorset. The image captures a nostalgic scene from May 1939, where we find ourselves standing at the end of a street as our gaze follows a horse-drawn cart approaching towards us. The atmosphere is bustling with activity as we take in the details on either side of the street. To our left, there is a car park that seems to be filled with vintage automobiles of that era. Adjacent to it stands an old petrol station adorned with a distinctive petrol pump – an iconic symbol of bygone days when fueling up was still done manually. Our eyes are then drawn further down the street towards a house which now serves as the site for a supermarket carpark. It's fascinating how time has transformed this space into something entirely different today. Photographer John Charlton skillfully captured not only architectural elements but also snippets of everyday life during this period. This photograph offers glimpses into motor transport practices and signage prevalent at that time. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history, let us appreciate its significance as part of Historic England's archive collection – preserving moments like these for generations to come.
