EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the jettied town house at 103 Westgate Street in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. Dating back to approximately 1645, this remarkable building stands as a testament to Stuart architecture and holds within its walls countless stories of the past. Taken in the early 1930s, this image provides a glimpse into the history of No. 103 before it underwent alterations to its street frontage. The main elevation is beautifully showcased from a northeast perspective, revealing intricate details and architectural elements that have stood the test of time. Once part of the esteemed Gloucester Folk Museum for many years, this town house has witnessed generations come and go while preserving its unique charm. Its significance lies not only in its historical value but also in being acquired by the City Council during this period. The scene depicted here exudes an air of nostalgia; one can almost imagine bustling streets filled with horse-drawn carriages and people going about their daily lives. A shop van parked nearby adds another layer to this snapshot from yesteryears. Sydney Pitcher's keen eye has immortalized this moment in time through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur and simplicity that define our architectural heritage. This print serves as a reminder that behind every building lies untold tales waiting to be discovered and cherished for generations to come.
