EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Tubwell Row, Darlington, County Durham. Captured between 1880 and 1900, this remarkable image showcases a vibrant street scene during a sheep market day. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Victorian-era urban dwellers as they navigate through carts filled with goods and livestock. The sheer energy and activity depicted in this snapshot are truly awe-inspiring. The street is teeming with people going about their business amidst the chaos of the market. Carts line both sides of Tubwell Row, creating a picturesque yet chaotic atmosphere that characterizes this era's urban landscape. In the background stands St Cuthberts Church, its majestic spire towering over the scene like a silent observer. This architectural gem provides an interesting contrast to the lively marketplace below, reminding us that even amidst busy city life, places of worship hold their sacred space. The Howarth-Loomes Collection has preserved this historical gem for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Through this evocative photograph, we can almost hear the sounds of hooves clattering on cobblestones and feel ourselves transported back in time to witness firsthand what it was like to be part of such a vibrant community. As we gaze upon this fascinating piece of history captured by Historic England Archive, we cannot help but marvel at how much our cities have evolved while cherishing these glimpses into our past that continue to shape our present
