EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage lantern slide print of Bailey Gate in Pontefract from the early 1900s. The Edwardian era comes to life in this snapshot, showcasing a bustling street scene filled with horse-drawn carriages and elegantly dressed pedestrians.
The architecture of the buildings lining the street is distinctly Victorian, with ornate details and decorative facades adding to the charm of the scene. The cobbled streets and gas lamps evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace.
As you study this image, you can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves on cobblestones and smell the faint scent of coal smoke lingering in the air. It's a glimpse into a world that has long since vanished, but one that continues to captivate our imagination.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this piece of history for us to enjoy today, reminding us of how much Pontefract has changed over the years while still retaining its unique character. This print is not just a photograph; it's a window into another time, inviting us to explore and appreciate our shared heritage.
