EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Game of Billiards: An Intimate Glimpse into the Past at Strathclyde, Stockport (1913)" This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as three men engage in a friendly game of billiards at the Strathclyde residence located on Offerton Lane in Stockport. The year is 1913, and the setting is the elegant billiard room of William Battersby, who is seated in the center, with two unidentified companions. The room is adorned with exquisite wood paneling, intricately designed wallpaper, and an ornate fireplace, which speaks to the wealth and sophistication of the home's occupants. The billiard table, with its green felt surface and polished wooden edges, is the focal point of the room, drawing the eye and inviting the viewer to imagine the sounds and smells of the game in progress. William Battersby, the man in the center, wears a formal suit and a serious expression, seemingly focused on the game. His companions, dressed in casual attire, appear more relaxed, their faces reflecting the enjoyment and camaraderie that comes from a shared pastime. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of Strathclyde, a home that once stood on Offerton Lane in Stockport. It invites us to consider the lives of these three men, their relationships, and the conversations that may have taken place as they played their game of billiards. This photograph is a testament to the power of a single image to transport us back in time and evoke a sense of nostalgia for eras long past.
