EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the year 1902, capturing a moment of elegance and camaraderie at Woods Restaurant in Berwick Upon Tweed, Northumberland. The interior is beautifully adorned with intricate details that reflect the Edwardian era's opulence. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we are drawn to a group of people seated around a table. Their faces exude joy and anticipation as they await their meal. The atmosphere seems alive with conversation and laughter, creating an ambiance of warmth and friendship. The waiting staff can be seen gracefully moving between tables, attending to every need with impeccable service. Dressed impeccably in their uniforms, they add an air of sophistication to the scene. Alfred Newton & Son skillfully captured this momentous occasion for posterity. Through his lens, he not only documented the physical space but also managed to encapsulate the spirit of leisurely dining during that era. This photograph transports us back over a century ago when life moved at a slower pace; where people took pleasure in each other's company while indulging in fine cuisine. It serves as a reminder that amidst all progress and change, some experiences remain timeless – like good food shared among friends within enchanting surroundings.
