EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the bustling corn and flour trade in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire, during the early 20th century. The image depicts a corn merchant delivering sacks of freshly harvested corn to the esteemed merchant firm of Gledhill & Brook, located at 11 Victoria Street. The merchant, dressed in a heavy coat and hat, expertly maneuvers the sacks from the back of his lorry, while his assistant looks on, ready to help. The scene is set against the backdrop of the picturesque village of Holmfirth, with its quaint shops and stone buildings. Holmfirth, known for its rich history in the textile industry, also played a significant role in the corn and flour trade. The area's fertile land and abundant water supply made it an ideal location for milling and processing grains. Gledhill & Brook, a well-respected name in the community, would have sourced the corn from local farmers and milled it into flour to be sold to local grocers and bakers. The arrival of the corn merchant and his lorry would have been a common sight on the streets of Holmfirth, as the town's economy relied heavily on the trade. The sacks of corn, stacked high on the lorry, represent the hard work and dedication of the farmers and merchants who brought food to the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the daily life and industry of Holmfirth over a century ago.
