EDITORS COMMENTS
Tombland Alley, Norwich: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph, captured by Hallam Ashley in April 1947, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of Norwich, England. The image depicts Tombland Alley, a narrow passageway that leads from Tombland, a street renowned for its historic buildings, to the cathedral precinct. The archway in the foreground is that of 14 Tombland, a mid-16th-century house that was once the residence of Augustine Steward, a former mayor of Norwich. The intricately carved stonework of the archway showcases the Tudor architectural style that is synonymous with Norwich's heritage. Beyond the archway lies Erpingham Gate, a 15th-century structure that once served as the main entrance to the cathedral precinct. Named after Sir Thomas Erpingham, a prominent military figure during the Hundred Years War, the gate is an impressive example of late medieval architecture. The photograph frames the west front of Norwich Cathedral, a magnificent structure that dates back to the 11th century. The cathedral's impressive architecture, with its intricate stone carvings and towering spires, has stood the test of time and remains a symbol of Norwich's rich history and cultural significance. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and historical importance of Norwich, a city that continues to captivate visitors with its stunning architecture and rich heritage. Hallam Ashley's image provides a unique perspective on this historic city, inviting us to step back in time and explore the stories that lie hidden within its ancient walls.
