EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of Old Houses in the High Street of Banbury, Oxfordshire, circa 1910. Among these historic structures, The Vivers Building stands proudly, a testament to Banbury's rich architectural heritage. Built in the mid-17th century, around 1650, this beautiful house was the residence of Edward Vivers, a mercer of the time. The Vivers Building is a prime example of Tudor architecture, with its intricately designed bow windows, gables, and half-timbered facade. The building's age is evident in the worn bricks and the mellowed hue of the once brightly painted woodwork. The house's original charm is further accentuated by the quaint shops that line the High Street, including Alfred Betts, a cake shop, Neale Perkins, an ironmonger, and a wagon parked in front of Perkins' shop. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where horse-drawn wagons were a common sight on the cobblestone streets, and life moved at a slower pace. The bow windows of The Vivers Building offer a glimpse into the lives of the people who once inhabited this historic house, and the quaint shops invite us to imagine the bustling activity of the High Street in days gone by. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and the charm of Old England was at its peak. The Vivers Building, with its timeless beauty and rich history, is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Banbury, Oxfordshire.
