Munns Corner, Burnley: A Peek into the Past through a Victorian Lantern Slide Step back in time with this image of Munns Corner in Burnley, as depicted in a vintage lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the early history of this once bustling industrial town in Lancashire, England. The image transports us to an era long past, with horse-drawn carts and people dressed in Victorian and Edwardian attire going about their daily business. The corner, named after the Munns family who once owned a prominent textile mill in the area, is a testament to the region's rich industrial heritage. The photograph's intriguing composition draws the viewer in, with the narrow street leading the eye to the imposing textile mill in the background. The mill, with its tall chimneys billowing smoke, symbolizes the industrious spirit of the town and the economic powerhouse it once was. The lantern slide, a popular means of entertainment and education during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offers a unique perspective into the past. This image, in particular, provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of Munns Corner and the people who called it home. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our history and the role that archives like The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection play in bringing the past to life. This image is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document that transports us to a time when horse-drawn carts, textile mills, and Victorian fashion ruled the day.
