EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the historic moment when Nottingham Market Square underwent a significant transformation in 1929. In this image, workers can be seen meticulously laying tram tracks on the square, a task that would revolutionize the city's transportation system. Nottingham Market Square, located in the heart of Nottingham, England, has been a bustling hub of activity since medieval times. However, by the early 20th century, the square was in need of modernization. The decision was made to bring trams to the square, connecting it to the rest of the city and making it more accessible to residents and visitors alike. The scene in this photograph is one of industry and progress. Workers in heavy boots and braces are busy at work, laying down the slabs for the tram tracks. A council house and a Victorian or Edwardian building can be seen in the background, a reminder of the rich history of Nottingham. A lantern slide, which was used to project images onto a screen using a magic lantern, adds an intriguing layer to the photograph, transporting us back in time. The laying of these tram tracks marked an important milestone in Nottingham's history, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past. It is a testament to the dedication and hard work of those who made it happen, and a reminder of the city's commitment to progress and innovation.
