This print captures the grandeur of Sessions House in Preston, Lancashire. Stepping into the dining room at the County Sessions House feels like stepping back in time to the early 20th century. The exquisite Edwardian Baroque style, meticulously designed by Henry Littler, is evident in every detail. The photographer, H Bedford Lemere, skillfully brings this historic space to life through his lens. The image showcases a beautifully set table that exudes elegance and sophistication. It's as if time has stood still within these walls. Built between 1900 and 1903, this court house stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. Its opulent interior reflects the aspirations of an era defined by prosperity and progress.
