EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting town of Bewdley, Worcestershire, in September 1957. Andor Gomme skillfully captures a bustling scene along Load Street, where cars and motorbikes are parked in the foreground, adding a touch of liveliness to the image. As we gaze towards the west, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent St Annes Church standing tall against the sky. The charm of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of urban life but also in its attention to detail. The shop fronts lining Load Street proudly display their signage, inviting passersby with promises of goods and services. A bank stands prominently on one corner while a hotel graces another – testaments to Bewdley's importance as a hub for commerce and hospitality. Andor Gomme's composition transports us back to an era when towns were vibrant centers of activity. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling down this historic street, soaking up the atmosphere and immersing ourselves in its rich history. This print from Historic England is more than just an image; it is a window into bygone days that allows us to appreciate how much has changed while cherishing what remains unchanged.
