EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a bygone era with an image of Fred and Elsie Boulton, a father-daughter team who ran a local bakery in the historic market town of Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England during the 1920s. The scene is set in The Horsefair, the heart of the town where their bakery was located. Fred, with a confident and proud expression, is seated in the delivery van that he drove, while Elsie, dressed in her baker's apron, stands by the van with a basket of freshly baked goods. The delivery van, with no distinctive livery, adds to the unassuming charm of this family-run business. The 1920s, also known as the 'Roaring Twenties,' was a time of great social and economic change. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a small business owner during this period. The horse and cart, a common mode of transportation during this time, adds to the historical context of the image. Fred and Elsie's bakery was a staple in the community, providing fresh bread, pastries, and other baked goods to the residents of Malmesbury. Their business was a source of pride for the family and contributed to the rich cultural heritage of the town. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of small, local businesses in our communities and the role they play in shaping our history. It also serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures of life, such as the joy of a freshly baked loaf of bread or the pride of running a successful family business.
