EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Greyfriars, a remarkable timber-framed medieval house located on Friar Street in Worcester, Worcestershire. The image showcases the house in its derelict state before it was lovingly restored by siblings Malcolm Matley Moore and (Florence) Elsie Matley Moore. As we gaze upon this street scene frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent Greyfriars standing proudly on the other side of the road. Its age-old charm is evident through its intricate timber framing, telling tales of a rich history that spans centuries. Once a bustling merchant's house and guesthouse, this architectural gem has witnessed countless stories unfold within its walls. The photograph not only offers us a glimpse into the past but also invites us to imagine what life must have been like during those times. We can almost hear the echoes of footsteps echoing down Friar Street as people went about their daily lives. Marjory L Wight's lens skillfully captures both the beauty and decay present in this scene, reminding us of how fragile historical treasures can be without proper care and preservation. Thanks to the dedication of Malcolm Matley Moore and (Florence) Elsie Matley Moore, Greyfriars was given new life after decades of neglect. Their efforts ensured that future generations would be able to appreciate this architectural masterpiece for years to come. This print serves as a poignant reminder that behind every historic building lies an untold story waiting to be.
