EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the bustling scene at Horrockses, Crewdson & Co Ltd in Preston, Lancashire during the 1920s. The office and factory building stands proudly with its red brick façade, showcasing the architectural style of the era. A classic car can be seen parked on the street outside, adding a touch of nostalgia to the image. The tall chimney billows smoke into the sky, symbolizing the thriving textile industry that Horrockses, Crewdson & Co Ltd was known for. This company played a significant role in cotton mills and became part of a larger trust in 1920. The trade design aspect is evident as customers and assistants are seen entering and exiting the shop. Intriguingly, this photograph also features an artistic element - fairy-like figures with wings adorning one side of the building. These art nouveau-inspired details add a whimsical touch to an otherwise industrial setting. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this snapshot from history, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era when manufacturing and craftsmanship were at their peak. It serves as a reminder of Lancashire's rich heritage in textile production and showcases how companies like Horrockses, Crewdson & Co Ltd shaped not only local communities but also influenced national industries during this time period.
