EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, during the 1930s. The image captures a vibrant urban scene along Wyle Cop, a historic high street that has witnessed countless stories unfold over the years. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn towards numbers 18-23 on the north side of the street. The architecture of these buildings exudes charm and character, with their intricate facades and inviting shopfronts. Each storefront tells its own tale - perhaps one housed a quaint bakery filled with mouthwatering pastries or an old-fashioned bookstore brimming with literary treasures waiting to be discovered. Amidst this lively setting, people can be seen going about their daily lives. Men in dapper suits stroll purposefully down the pavement while women elegantly navigate through the crowd in fashionable dresses adorned with hats. Children skip alongside their parents, their innocent laughter filling the air. This photograph by G B Mason transports us into an era long gone but not forgotten – an era where community thrived on these very streets. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much our cities have evolved over time while also reminding us to cherish and preserve our architectural heritage for future generations to appreciate.
