EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Carlisle, Cumbria in 1907. In this snapshot, we are presented with a fascinating juxtaposition of two establishments that were integral to the community's daily life - the Employment Exchange and R. D. Hewitt & Co ironmongers. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the grandeur of the Victoria Viaduct arching gracefully overhead. This architectural marvel serves as a reminder of Carlisle's rich history and its importance as a transportation hub during that era. In the foreground stands the Employment Exchange, an institution dedicated to connecting job seekers with potential employers. Its imposing facade exudes authority and hope for those seeking employment opportunities amidst an ever-evolving industrial landscape. Adjacent to it is R. D. Hewitt & Co ironmongers, a store that catered to various hardware needs of both professionals and everyday residents alike. The display windows showcase an array of tools and equipment, inviting passersby into their world of craftsmanship. Together, these two establishments encapsulate different aspects of society at that time - one symbolizing progress through economic stability while the other represents self-sufficiency through skilled tradesmanship. Thanks to Historic England's preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable photograph from John Laing Collection which offers us a glimpse into Carlisle's past; reminding us how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for our present-day communities.
