EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming snapshot of the past, this photograph captures a moment in time outside Oliver's Boot and Shoe Warehouse in Ilfracombe, Devon, on the 18th of August 1909. The image showcases a horse-drawn carriage filled with passengers, both men and women, dressed in their finest Edwardian attire. The women don elegant hats and long skirts, while the men wear suits and top hats. A young child sits on the lap of an adult, gazing curiously at the bustling scene around them. In the background, the distinctive sign of Oliver's Boot and Shoe Warehouse can be seen, advertising a wide range of footwear for the community. The building, with its large windows and ornate details, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the era's architectural grandeur. The horse, harnessed and ready to go, seems unfazed by the commotion, its calm demeanor a stark contrast to the excitement of the passengers. The scene is a perfect representation of the transport options available during the early 1900s, where horse-drawn carriages coexisted with the emergence of new technologies like automobiles. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Ilfracombe during the Edwardian era, a time of change and progress. The image is a beautiful reminder of the rich history that surrounds us and the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
