EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this view of Derby's bustling Cornmarket, circa 1920. The scene is alive with activity, as shoppers navigate the crowded streets, their hats shading them from the warm sun. Trams glide smoothly along the tracks, their bells ringing in the background, while cars line the streets, adding to the mid-century modernity. In the midst of it all, the towering spire of Derby Cathedral stands proudly in the middle distance, a beacon of history and tradition. The Cornmarket, located in the heart of Derby, was a thriving commercial hub during the 1920s. The shops, adorned with blinds, entice customers with their wares, while the street lights cast a warm glow over the scene. The Midland town was known for its vibrant social scene, and this photograph captures the essence of a busy day in the city. The twenties were a time of great change in Britain, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a bustling Midlands town. The hustle and bustle of the market, the trams rumbling along the streets, and the cars honking their horns all contribute to the lively atmosphere. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of Derby during the 20th century.
