EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Derelict houses BB78_09272" transports us back to the haunting streets of Guinea Street in Bristol on a fateful day in 1952. The lens of Phillip Edmund Wills Street captures an eerie scene, showcasing the decaying doorways of numbers one and two. Neglected by time and abandoned by their former inhabitants, these derelict houses stand as silent witnesses to a forgotten era. A closer look reveals a significant detail that adds intrigue to this already compelling image - a compulsory purchase order firmly attached to number one's weathered door. This official document hints at the impending fate awaiting these dilapidated structures; perhaps they are destined for demolition or renovation, making way for progress amidst urban decay. Street's skilled composition draws our attention not only to the worn-out doors but also invites us to contemplate what stories lie behind them. Who were the people who once called these residences home? What events unfolded within their walls? The photograph sparks curiosity about lives lived long ago and prompts reflection on the passage of time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Historic England's archives, we are reminded that even in desolation there is beauty - beauty found in capturing history frozen within frames, preserving fragments of memory for generations yet unborn.
