EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Skingle transports us back to the bustling streets of Berwick-Upon-Tweed in Northumberland. The image showcases the former cockle shop, William Cowe And Sons, located at 64-66 Bridge Street. With a general view from the west, we are treated to a glimpse of this historic establishment that once thrived in the heart of the town. The photograph captures not only the physical structure of the shop but also offers a window into its surrounding street scene. It is evident that this snapshot was taken during the 2000s, as modern elements subtly blend with traditional architecture. The juxtaposition creates an intriguing visual narrative, illustrating how history and progress coexist harmoniously within this charming corner of England. Bob Skingle's keen eye for detail ensures that every aspect of this composition is meticulously preserved. From the weathered bricks and timeworn signage adorning the shopfront to pedestrians strolling along Bridge Street, each element contributes to an authentic representation of life in Berwick-Upon-Tweed. As we admire this remarkable piece from Historic England's collection, it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Instead, let us appreciate Bob Skingle's artistry and his ability to capture a moment frozen in time—a testament to our shared heritage and cultural identity.
