EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph takes us back in time to the charming town of Wootton Bassett in 1930. The image showcases a bird's eye view of the picturesque Church of St. Bartholomew and All Saints, standing proudly amidst its surrounding streets - Wood Street, High Street, and Station Road. The church's stunning architecture is beautifully captured from this unique perspective, highlighting its intricate details and grandeur. Its towering spire reaches towards the sky, symbolizing faith and community spirit that has endured for centuries. As we explore further into the photo print, we are transported to an era where urban life was bustling with activity. The streets below reveal a snapshot of daily life in this historic market town - people going about their business, horse-drawn carriages navigating through narrow lanes, and buildings adorned with signs advertising local businesses. This remarkable image not only offers a glimpse into Wootton Bassett's past but also serves as a testament to our rich architectural heritage. It reminds us of how towns like these have evolved over time while still preserving their unique character. Thanks to Historic England Images' commitment to documenting our history through photography, we can appreciate moments frozen in time like this one – capturing both the beauty of our surroundings and the stories they hold within them.
