EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print of High Wycombe high street, captured around 1910. The image offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the bustling heart of Buckinghamshire's historic town. As we gaze up the high street towards the iconic Guildhall, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent lion statue standing proudly on the right-hand side. A symbol of strength and majesty, it has remained a steadfast presence throughout the years. However, as time has passed, transformations have taken place within this vibrant scene. While the lion statue still stands tall today, its surroundings have evolved significantly. The building that once housed a hotel now serves an entirely different purpose - a poignant reminder of how architecture can shape and adapt to meet changing needs. This Edwardian-era photograph not only captures an era long gone but also invites us to reflect upon High Wycombe's rich history and its evolution over time. It sparks curiosity about those who walked these streets before us and ignites nostalgia for bygone days. Displayed at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this historical gem is part of their collection dedicated to preserving Britain's railway heritage. Through images like these, we gain insights into communities' lives while appreciating how far we've come since then.
