EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in the quaint village of Dove Holes, Derbyshire, back in 1913. The main street is bustling with activity, showcasing a snapshot of daily life in this historical community near Buxton. However, what makes this image even more poignant is the knowledge that between 1905 and 1913, a significant portion of the village population made the difficult decision to emigrate to Canada.
Approximately 250 residents - a quarter of Dove Holes' inhabitants at that time - chose to leave their homes and start anew across the Atlantic. This mass exodus had a profound impact on the tight-knit community, forever altering its social fabric and leaving behind empty spaces where familiar faces once stood.
As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of the resilience and courage displayed by those who embarked on this journey towards an uncertain future. Their stories are woven into the very streets depicted here, serving as a testament to both personal sacrifice and collective ambition.
Through this image, we not only witness a moment frozen in time but also glimpse into a chapter of history marked by change and upheaval. The Main Street of Dove Holes stands as a silent witness to the dreams and aspirations that propelled its former residents towards distant horizons.
