EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Peter Williams takes us back to the bustling Selby Market Place in North Yorkshire during the 1980s. The image showcases a charming Georgian terrace, with its architectural elegance standing as a testament to the town's rich history. However, it is the shop window of number 12 Market Place that steals the spotlight in this snapshot. This particular establishment proudly identifies itself as a dispensing chemist, serving as an essential hub for medical needs within the community. The photograph beautifully captures a moment frozen in time - pedestrians passing by on the cobbled streets, perhaps going about their daily errands or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll through town. The warm glow emanating from street lamps adds an enchanting touch to this nostalgic scene. Williams' keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance of this location but also offers insight into everyday life during that era. It serves as a gentle reminder of how our towns and communities have evolved over time while preserving elements of their past. This print is more than just an artistic composition; it encapsulates memories and stories waiting to be discovered within its frame. It invites viewers to step into Selby's vibrant past and immerse themselves in its unique charm and character.
