EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1905, showcases The Free Library located on High Street in Harborne, a charming suburb in south-west Birmingham. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past as we observe the quaint architectural details and the bustling activity on the street. At the heart of the scene, The Free Library stands proudly, its grand facade adorned with intricate stonework and tall, arched windows. The library, a cherished community resource, was established to provide access to knowledge and literature for all, regardless of social or economic status. Surrounding The Free Library, the High Street is bustling with activity. People of all ages and walks of life can be seen going about their daily business, while children play and laugh in the foreground. The street is lined with shops and businesses, some with enticing advertisements displayed in their windows. One such advertisement, for Daren's Bread, catches the eye with its bold, hand-painted design. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 1900s. Women can be seen wearing long, flowing skirts and high collars, while men don hats and suits. The horse-drawn carts and carriages add to the sense of history and tradition. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, showcasing the charm and character of Harborne and the importance of community resources like The Free Library. It invites us to reflect on the history of our towns and cities and the role they play in shaping our lives.
