EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the 1930s, Monks Bar, a historic gatehouse in the ancient city of York, England, stands proudly against the backdrop of a wintry sky. The city walls, adorned with intricate arches, curve gently around the gatehouse, creating an air of mystery and intrigue. The scene is tranquil, with only the occasional rustle of leaves and the distant sound of horse hooves breaking the silence. However, the peace is momentarily disrupted as a large van, bearing the sign "J. H. Alderson, Hide & Skin Broker," approaches the gatehouse. The van, with its rusted sides and heavy-duty tires, seems out of place amidst the historic surroundings. The driver, a portly man with a fur-trimmed hat and a thick coat, peers intently through the windshield as he navigates the narrow city streets. Monks Bar, a significant part of York's rich history, dates back to the 14th century and has served as a defensive structure, a prison, and a courthouse over the centuries. The city walls, which date back even further, have protected York from various invasions and sieges throughout history. Despite the imposing presence of the van and its driver, the scene remains a captivating snapshot of a bygone era. The photograph, taken in 1936, offers a unique glimpse into the past, when horse-drawn carts and old-fashioned vans were still a common sight on the streets of York. The Lucinda Moore Collection, from which this photograph is taken, is a treasure trove of historical images that provide valuable insights into the history and culture of Yorkshire and England during the 19th and 20th centuries.
