EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Broad Street OP05863" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Ludlow, Shropshire between 1885 and 1920. The image captures a vibrant urban scene that exudes both charm and history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn towards Broad Street, stretching out before us. Lined with quaint buildings on either side, it is a testament to the architectural beauty of the era. The street seems alive with activity as people go about their daily lives; some strolling leisurely while others rush by with purpose. In the distance, we catch sight of the iconic Butter Cross standing proudly at its center. This historic landmark serves as a reminder of Ludlow's rich heritage and acts as a focal point for both locals and visitors alike. Beyond it rises the magnificent tower of St Laurence's Church, reaching towards the heavens as if seeking divine inspiration. The composition of this photograph perfectly encapsulates an era long gone but not forgotten. It transports us back to a simpler time when horse-drawn carriages roamed these cobbled streets instead of cars. The absence of modern technology allows us to appreciate the charm and character that defined this picturesque town. Thanks to Historic England Archive's meticulous preservation efforts, we have been granted access to this remarkable piece of history captured through their lens. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst progress and change, there will always be value in preserving our past
