EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "New Street Worcester, 1942" takes us back in time to the heart of Worcestershire during the Second World War. The image captures a slice of history with remarkable detail and offers a glimpse into daily life amidst wartime challenges. The focal point of the photograph is 4 Corn Market and 30 New Street, which together form King Charles House. This Tudor and later structure stands proudly at the corner of Corn Market, showcasing its unique architectural design. The building's brick exterior exudes character as it blends seamlessly with its surroundings. As we explore this snapshot further, our eyes are drawn to various advertisements adorning the shopfronts. Prominent among them are signs for Bovril, Marsh's Sausages, Holtham & Company - a well-known merchant dealing in farm supplies. These nostalgic adverts not only highlight popular products but also serve as reminders of an era long gone. It is worth noting that King Charles House holds significant historical importance as a listed building. Its presence throughout WWII serves as a testament to resilience amid adversity. George Bernard Mason skillfully captured this moment frozen in time, allowing us to reflect on both the past and present. As we gaze upon this photo print, we cannot help but appreciate how much has changed since then while cherishing these glimpses into our shared heritage.
