EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Westwick, Norfolk, where an elegant archway once stood as the grand entrance to a magnificent mansion. Now situated on the bustling Aylsham-Norwich road, it serves as a poignant reminder of the ancient monuments that coexist with modern-day traffic. Captured by John Topham from Sidcup, Kent on August 23rd, 1937, this image transports us down memory lane to the nostalgic era of the 1930s. Although this archway no longer stands today since its demolition on September 1st or 2nd in 1981 – not for road widening purposes but due to the decision of its landowner – its significance lives on through photographs like these. The juxtaposition between past and present is striking; a symbol of how history intertwines with our daily lives. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a double-decker bus passing beneath the archway. It reminds us of the countless journeys taken by people who traveled along this route throughout history. The arch's presence adds character and charm to an otherwise ordinary road scene. As we delve into our collective memories and explore Between The Wars' collection at TopFoto, let us cherish these glimpses into our shared heritage. This photograph encapsulates not only architecture and transportation but also nostalgia and sentimentality—a true testament to how images can transport us across time.
