EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Red Lion Street in Burnley, Lancashire, during the early 1900s. This Edwardian-era image transports us to a bygone era, filled with the charm and character of a Victorian town. The narrow, cobblestone street is lined with terraced houses, each adorned with intricate brickwork and ornate details. The red brick Red Lion Inn, a historic pub that has stood since the 17th century, proudly displays its sign at the end of the street, beckoning visitors to come and enjoy a pint. The horses and carts that occupy the street add to the authenticity of the scene, as they were once the primary mode of transportation before the advent of automobiles. The people dressed in their finest attire, from the elegant ladies in long skirts and bonnets to the smartly-dressed gentlemen in suits and bowlers, add a touch of sophistication to the bustling scene. Red Lion Street was once the heart of Burnley's textile industry, with its mills and factories providing employment for the town's residents. The area was known for its vibrant community spirit, with markets, shops, and pubs lining the streets. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Burnley during a time of great change and progress. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this image is taken, is a valuable resource for historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in the social history of England during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. This photograph is a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time, allowing us to connect with the past and appreciate the evolution of our towns and cities.
