EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting allure of Greyfriars, located on Friar Street in Worcester, Worcestershire. The elevated view allows us to gaze upon this magnificent timber-framed house as it stood before its restoration by siblings Malcolm Matley Moore and (Florence) Elsie Matley Moore. These dedicated individuals resided within its walls from the late 1940s until their passing in the 1980s. The medieval charm emanating from Greyfriars is undeniable, showcasing a rich history that dates back centuries. Once a bustling merchant's house and guesthouse, this architectural gem now stands as a testament to the passage of time. However, at the moment captured by Marjory L Wight's lens, Greyfriars appears somewhat derelict yet still exudes an undeniable beauty. As we peer into this street scene frozen in time, we can't help but imagine the stories that unfolded within these weathered walls. The presence of people adds depth to our contemplation - were they passersby or perhaps inhabitants of this historic dwelling? Their purpose remains unknown but serves as a reminder that life continues amidst even the most ancient structures. Let us appreciate this remarkable photograph for what it represents: not just a building but also an embodiment of resilience and endurance against all odds. Historic England has preserved not only bricks and mortar with this image but also whispers from generations past – tales waiting to be discovered by those willing to listen closely.
