EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling energy of Lincoln High Street in a bygone era. Taken from an elevated view on High Bridge, the image showcases a vibrant street scene filled with people going about their daily lives. The architectural marvels of this historic town are prominently featured, including the tower of St Peter at Arches Church and the majestic Lincoln Cathedral standing tall in the distance. A notable detail is that St Peter at Arches Church, which can be seen beyond Stonbow, no longer exists as it was demolished in the early 1930s. However, its presence in this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of its once prominent place within this townscape. The busy streets are teeming with traffic and shoppers, giving us a glimpse into everyday life during this time period. Each person captured adds depth to the narrative unfolding before our eyes - their clothing styles hinting at fashion trends of yesteryears. It's fascinating to see how much has changed over time; Norwich Union House now occupies the site where St Peter at Arches Church once stood. This print not only documents history but also invites us to reflect upon how urban landscapes evolve and adapt throughout generations. J Dixon Scott skillfully captures both architectural grandeur and human activity in this remarkable piece of visual storytelling from Historic England's collection.
