EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming town of Sherborne in 1939. The image showcases a bustling scene on South Street, where Sheppards Garage proudly stood as a prominent landmark. With its striking architecture and eye-catching signage, this garage was not only a hub for motor transport but also an integral part of the local community. The photograph captures the essence of an era when petrol pumps were adorned with iconic logos such as Shell and Esso, symbolizing progress and modernity. These fuel stations served as vital pitstops for motorists embarking on their journeys through Dorset's picturesque landscapes. Today, it is fascinating to see how this historic building has been transformed into houses, preserving its heritage while adapting to contemporary needs. This transformation speaks volumes about our evolving society and the importance we place on preserving our architectural past. Robin W McDowall's keen eye has immortalized this moment in time forever. Through his lens, we are transported back to May 1939, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of Sherborne's architecture and the significance of motor transport during that period. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Historic England's archive collection, let us reflect upon how far we have come since then while cherishing our rich history that continues to shape our present-day existence.
