EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless charm of The Wheatsheaf Inn, nestled on Burscough Street in Ormskirk, West Lancashire. Stepping into this inn is like stepping back in time, as evidenced by the ogee-curved archway that leads into the entrance hall. The intricate design of the archway adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to the interior space. The photographer, Margaret F Harker, has skillfully captured every detail of this historic inn's interior. From the polished wooden floors to the ornate ceiling beams, each element tells a story of its own. It is evident that great care has been taken to preserve the authenticity and character of this Hanoverian-style establishment. Part of a series known as Fleetwood Hesketh - presumably referring to its esteemed client family (that of politician Roger Fleetwood Hesketh) - these images offer a glimpse into an era long gone. They serve as a testament to both architectural craftsmanship and social history. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when public houses were not just places for refreshment but also served as community gathering spots where stories were shared and friendships were forged. This image reminds us that even within our modern world, there are still hidden gems waiting to be discovered – places like The Wheatsheaf Inn that continue to hold onto their rich heritage while welcoming visitors with open arms.
