EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Barnard Castle Market Place in County Durham during the 1930s. As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, our eyes are immediately drawn towards the magnificent Market Cross standing proudly at the heart of the scene. Its elegant Georgian architecture serves as a reminder of bygone eras and tells tales of countless market days that have unfolded beneath its watchful presence. In the foreground, a group of people gather, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement. Perhaps they are locals engaging in lively conversations or visitors exploring this vibrant hub of commerce and community. The street is alive with activity - vendors showcasing their goods, shoppers perusing stalls brimming with fresh produce and artisanal crafts. Amidst this lively atmosphere, an old car stands out as a symbol of progress amidst tradition. It adds a touch of modernity to an otherwise timeless setting, reminding us that even in those days gone by, change was inevitable. Marjory L Wight's skillful lens captures not just a mere street scene but also preserves moments frozen in time – snippets from everyday life that would otherwise be lost forever. This remarkable photograph invites us to step into history's embrace and immerse ourselves in the sights and sounds that once animated Barnard Castle Market Place.
