EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Farringdon, Oxfordshire, in 1905. As we gaze upon this Victorian street scene captured by the talented Henry Taunt, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads and gas lamps illuminated the way. In this particular shot, our eyes are drawn down London Street as it stretches into the distance. The cobblestone road is lined with charming buildings that exude a sense of history and character. Amongst them stands out the iconic Folly Inn, proudly positioned in the foreground. Its presence adds a touch of vibrancy to this snapshot from yesteryears. Henry Taunt's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every element within this photograph - from intricate architectural features adorning each building facade to small glimpses of daily life unfolding on these historic streets. It is as if time has frozen for a moment, allowing us a glimpse into what life was like during this period. As we immerse ourselves in this image, let us marvel at how much has changed since then while also cherishing how some aspects have remained constant throughout history. This print serves as both a window into our past and a reminder of our shared heritage – an invaluable treasure preserved by Historic England for generations to come.
