EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of James Smith, the Town Crier of Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, making his way through the town's bustling streets in the late 1890s. Dressed in traditional attire, complete with a bell-adorned hat and a red sash, James rides in a pony-drawn trap, passing by J. Potter's butcher shop. The shop's display of fresh cuts of meat and joints adds to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. James, a former naval man, would shout out the details of any forthcoming events throughout the town for a shilling. After finishing his notices, he would remove his hat and cry out 'God save the Queen and all her loyal subjects.' The Town Crier's role was an essential part of Victorian-era community life, providing a way for residents to stay informed about local happenings. The photograph, taken circa 1895, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when such announcements were made in person and community connections were forged through the simple act of a Town Crier ringing his bell and shouting out the news.
