EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of North Walsham in 1947. Standing proudly on Church Street is J H Bloom's Butchers Shop, a true gem of its time. The exterior view from the north-west captures the essence of this traditional establishment, showcasing its unique Dutch gable on the north elevation. The photograph transports us to an era where local shops were at the heart of every community. Stuart Felton skillfully captures not only the physical structure but also a sense of nostalgia that emanates from this image. The attention to detail is remarkable; you can almost hear the sounds and smell the aromas that would have filled this vibrant butcher shop. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of a simpler way of life when customers would gather outside, eagerly awaiting their turn to be served by Mr. Bloom himself. This was a place where personal connections were forged over cuts of meat and friendly banter. Felton's work serves as a testament to our shared history and heritage, preserving moments like these for future generations to appreciate. It allows us to reflect on how times have changed while cherishing those aspects that remain timeless - like community spirit and quality craftsmanship. In this single frame, Felton encapsulates an entire era with his lens, reminding us all that even in today's fast-paced world, there will always be something special about stepping into a traditional butcher shop with its distinctive Dutch gable facade standing proud against time itself.
