EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting photograph of Great Haywood, Staffordshire, taken in the early 1900s. This vintage image captures the quintessential charm of a bygone era, as horses and carts line the narrow, cobblestone streets, while children play and locals go about their daily business. The Edwardian-era buildings, with their intricate brickwork and red-tiled roofs, exude a sense of history and tradition. Great Haywood, a picturesque village nestled on the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent border, was once a thriving hub of industry, with its canal system connecting it to the larger towns and cities of the Midlands. However, this photograph offers a glimpse into a quieter, more pastoral side of village life. The villagers, dressed in their Sunday best, go about their day, oblivious to the camera's watchful eye. A woman in a long, flowing skirt and bonnet walks along the street, while a man in a flat cap and waistcoat leads a horse and cart. Children play in the foreground, their laughter echoing through the still air. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a treasure trove of historical photographs that offer a unique insight into the past. This photograph, in particular, is a reminder of the simple pleasures and close-knit communities that once defined rural life in Staffordshire and beyond. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the clip-clop of horses' hooves on the cobblestones, feel the cool breeze on your face, and smell the scent of freshly baked bread wafting from the local bakery. A beautiful and evocative snapshot of a time long past.
