EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping off the train in Salisbury Cathedral City (now known as Wilton), Bishop Edward Tylney Hills pauses to hold up a pair of glasses perched on his nose, alongside a schedule for the South Western Railway. The year is 1910 and this candid moment captures not only the bishop's bespectacled gaze but also his connection to the community he serves. As one of England's most prominent Anglican bishops, Hills was known for his progressive views and dedication to social justice. This photograph, taken by George Grantham Bain (Bain News Service), offers a glimpse into the daily life of this influential figure as he navigates the intersection of faith and modernity. The image also highlights the significance of transportation in early 20th-century England, where rail networks played a vital role in connecting cities and towns. The South Western Railway schedule held by Hills serves as a tangible reminder of his commitment to serving the people of Salisbury and beyond.
