EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of Knaresborough Dropping Well in the 1930s, as presented in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to an era long gone, filled with charm and intrigue. Located in the picturesque town of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire, England, the Dropping Well is a unique and fascinating geological formation. Believed to date back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the well is renowned for its 'wishing chair,' a natural limestone seat that is said to drop into the water below when a person sits on it. In this photograph, we see a mother and her child, dressed in clothing typical of the 1930s, standing near the well. The mother appears to be holding a lantern, illuminating the dark entrance to Shipton Cave, which is located nearby. The image is reminiscent of a lantern slide, adding to its nostalgic appeal. The scene is set against the backdrop of the early Yorkshire Dales, with the rolling hills and lush greenery providing a beautiful contrast to the dark, mysterious cave. The image captures the essence of a simpler time, when life moved at a slower pace, and the wonders of nature were a source of endless fascination. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and charm of Knaresborough and its unique attractions. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who came before us and the experiences they had at this enchanting well. A must-have for anyone with an interest in vintage photography, English history, or the natural wonders of the Yorkshire Dales.
