EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us back in time to the charming streets of Rochdale, Lancashire. The image showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail found in the timber setts that line King Street. These beechwood setts, carefully laid on the north part of the street between Fleece Street and South Parade, create a unique and visually striking pathway. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where cobbled roads were commonplace and added character to bustling towns like Rochdale. The wooden cobbles exude warmth and charm, inviting us to imagine what life was like for those who walked these very streets many years ago. As we examine this snapshot closely, we can appreciate how each individual sett has been meticulously placed to form an intricate pattern that enhances both functionality and aesthetics. It is evident that great care was taken during their construction, ensuring durability while maintaining a sense of elegance. James O. Davies' expert composition allows us to truly appreciate this historical feature's significance within its urban context. Through his lens, he captures not only the physical beauty of these timber setts but also their ability to connect past generations with our present-day experience. This print serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and encourages us to cherish architectural details that contribute so greatly to our cultural identity.
