EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint town of Sherborne in 1939. The image showcases a row of charming houses nestled on the south side of Greenhill, each one exuding its own unique character. From Trinity Lodge to Crown Cottage, and numbers 6-11, these architectural gems stand as a testament to the rich history that permeates this Dorset community. However, what truly captures our attention is the lady peering suspiciously from an upstairs window. Her gaze fixed upon the photographer adds an intriguing element to this snapshot frozen in time. What secrets might she hold? What stories could those eyes tell? Photographed in May 1939 by C R Wrigley, this archival treasure not only documents the architecture and signage of Sherborne but also offers a glimpse into everyday life during that era. It serves as a reminder of how photography can transport us across decades, allowing us to immerse ourselves in different times and places. As we admire this print from Historic England's collection, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. It reminds us that behind every building lies countless untold tales waiting for curious minds like ours to unravel them.
