EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, taken by H. Bedford Lemere in 1904, captures the interior of Number 1 Court at the Sessions House in Preston, Lancashire. Built between 1900 and 1903, this impressive Edwardian Baroque building was designed by Henry Littler, the County Architect, and commissioned by Goodall, Lamb and Heighway. The Sessions House, located on Lancaster Road, stands as a testament to the architectural grandeur of the early 20th century. The Edwardian Baroque style is evident in the ornate detailing of the courtroom, with its high ceilings, intricate plasterwork, and grand columns. The use of natural light filtering in through the large windows adds to the sense of spaciousness and elegance. At the time of this photograph, the Sessions House was a hub of judicial activity. It was here that the Quarter Sessions, a local court of justice, would meet to hear cases and make decisions that would impact the lives of the people of Preston and Lancashire. The solemnity and importance of the proceedings are reflected in the serious expression of the judge and jury members seated in the courtroom. The Bedford Lemere daybook records that this photograph was taken in 1904, providing a valuable snapshot of life in the courtroom during this period. The photograph is a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Sessions House, which continues to serve the community of Preston as a court building to this day.
