EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 20th century, specifically to Fishergate in Preston, Lancashire. As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent Town Hall standing tall and proud in the background. Its grandeur is accentuated by the bustling street scene unfolding before it. In the foreground, a fascinating mix of motor cars and pedestrians animate the frame. The juxtaposition of these two modes of transportation offers a glimpse into an era on the cusp of modernity. The sleek automobiles with their polished exteriors share space with individuals strolling along at a leisurely pace or engaged in animated conversations. The atmosphere captured within this image is one filled with energy and movement. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their daily routines - men donning hats as they navigate through busy streets, women elegantly dressed while clutching parasols for shade against the sun's rays. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes apparent that Fishergate was not merely a thoroughfare but also a hub of social interaction. It served as both a conduit for progress and an avenue for human connection. Thanks to Historic England Archive's preservation efforts, we are able to witness firsthand how life unfolded on Fishergate during this transformative period. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst change and evolution, certain aspects of human existence remain constant - our desire to connect with others and create meaningful memories within
