EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the medieval streets of Nottingham. The image showcases Marsh Farm House, a remarkable timber-framed house that stood proudly on Red Lion Street in 1925. Captured by the talented photographer Alfred John Loughton, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the architectural heritage of this historic city. Red Lion Street was once known as Narrow Marsh, an important north-south thoroughfare dating back to medieval times. However, in 1905 it underwent a transformation and received its new name. This street holds great significance as it witnessed the evolution of Nottingham over centuries. The photograph also sheds light on the social changes that occurred during this period. In the 1920s, slum clearances took place in this area, including Narrow Marsh. These efforts aimed to improve living conditions for residents and create a more modern landscape within Nottingham. Today, Cliff Road stands where Red Lion Street once thrived with its bustling activity and rich history. As we admire this print captured by Loughton's lens, we are reminded of how cities evolve and transform over time while still preserving fragments of their past. Let us cherish these glimpses into our collective heritage as they allow us to appreciate both our present surroundings and those who came before us.
