EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at Emlyn Square in the heart of Swindon's Railway Village in 1929. At the corner of Emlyn Square and London Street, W.J. Knee's newsagent shop stands proudly, a beacon of community and connection in this bustling area. The photograph reveals a vibrant and lively atmosphere, with people of all ages and backgrounds milling about, engaged in conversation or tending to their errands. The newsagent shop, with its inviting display of newspapers, magazines, and other goods, serves as a focal point for the community. W.J. Knee, the newsagent himself, can be seen in the foreground, wearing a smartly pressed shirt and a friendly expression as he assists a customer. The architecture of the buildings surrounding the square adds to the sense of history and tradition. The red brick facades, adorned with ornate details and intricate patterns, evoke a sense of stability and permanence. The presence of the Great Western Railway (GWR) in Swindon is also evident, with the railway arches and tracks visible in the background. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when community life was centered around local shops like W.J. Knee's newsagent. It serves as a reminder of the important role that small businesses played in creating a sense of belonging and connection within neighborhoods, and the enduring impact they continue to have on our towns and cities today.
