EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting streets of Norwich, Norfolk. The image captures a general view looking down Elm Hill from the corner of The Monastery, offering a picturesque glimpse into the city's medieval past. Despite many houses dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, this street scene beautifully preserves the original layout of Norwich's historic city plan. Hallam Ashley, an accomplished photographer, expertly captured this moment in April 1947. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every architectural nuance and subtle charm that defines this timeless location. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages once traversed these cobblestone streets and merchants traded their wares in bustling marketplaces. The composition showcases rows of quaint buildings adorned with timber frames and ornate facades that have stood the test of time. Each structure tells its own story through intricate craftsmanship and unique architectural features. From elaborately carved doorways to charming bay windows overlooking the street below, these houses exude character at every turn. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both Hallam Ashley's talent as a photographer and Norwich's rich cultural heritage. It invites us on a journey through history, allowing us to appreciate how cities evolve while still preserving their roots. Let this image transport you back in time as you immerse yourself in the beauty and charm of Norwich's medieval streetscape
