New Road, Hexham, Northumberland: A Scenic View of Abbey and Moot Hall (circa 1950) This black-and-white photograph captures the picturesque scene of New Road in Hexham, Northumberland, showcasing the historic Abbey and Moot Hall. The image, taken circa 1950 by Terry Parker, invites us to step back in time and explore the charm of this beautiful English town. New Road, with its tree-lined sidewalk and well-maintained pavement, leads the eye to the grandeur of Hexham Abbey, a stunning example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. The abbey, founded in 674 AD, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, its intricate stonework and soaring towers a testament to the rich history of the region. Adjacent to the abbey, the Moot Hall, a 16th-century building, adds to the charm of this scene. Once the seat of local government, the Moot Hall now serves as a popular venue for weddings and community events. Its timber-framed structure, adorned with ivy, contrasts beautifully with the stone abbey, creating a harmonious blend of architectural styles. The peaceful atmosphere of New Road is further emphasized by the absence of modern vehicles and the presence of horse-drawn carriages, transporting us back to a simpler time. The gentle curve of the road, the lush greenery, and the clear, sunlit day all contribute to the idyllic charm of this scene, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Hexham and Northumberland.
