EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quaint English town of Ongar, Essex in the year 1905, showcases the bustling High Street and Council Offices. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the charm and character of this historic location. The High Street is lined with various shops, each displaying their unique wares. A general store, with its wooden signboard and assorted merchandise, stands out amongst the other establishments. Horse-drawn traps are parked outside, suggesting that motorized vehicles were not yet a common sight on the streets. The Council Offices, located at the end of the High Street, are a grand, imposing building. The architecture is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with its intricate details and red-brick facade. The flag flying high atop the building signifies the pride and importance of the local government. The people in the photograph add to the scene, with their elegant attire and serious expressions. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are accompanied by their mothers, adding a touch of innocence and warmth to the image. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and tradition of Ongar, Essex. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper understanding of the town's heritage and the way of life during that era. The High Street and Council Offices, as they appeared over a century ago, continue to stand as symbols of the town's resilience and charm.
