EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of the Star Hotel in Great Yarmouth, England, during the Victorian period. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of elegance and charm. The Star Hotel, a prominent landmark in the coastal town, is seen in all its glory, adorned with intricate Victorian architecture. The building's facade is adorned with ornate details, including decorative brickwork, ornate windows, and a grand entranceway. The Star Hotel's name is proudly displayed above the entrance, inviting guests to enjoy a stay at this esteemed establishment. The photograph also captures the spirit of the Edwardian era, with the addition of a team of workers in the foreground, busy at work on the construction of a telegraph pole. The pole, with its intricate design and the lantern at its top, adds an element of modernity to the scene, highlighting the technological advancements of the time. The Star Hotel's proximity to the sea is evident in the photograph, with the coastline and the vast expanse of the sea visible in the background. The image also reveals a glimpse of the town's early history, with Cromwell Road running parallel to the hotel, named after the famous English leader who played a significant role in the town's history. The temperance movement, which advocated for the reduction of alcohol consumption, was also a significant part of the Victorian era. The absence of any visible signs of alcohol in the photograph, such as pubs or taverns, suggests that the Star Hotel may have been a temperance hotel, catering to those who chose to abstain from alcohol. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and charm of Great Yarmouth during the Victorian period, and a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the Star Hotel.
