EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Rochdale Centre and Drake Street in the early 1900s, as depicted in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. Located in the heart of Manchester, England, and the historic county of Lancashire, this scene transports us back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The photograph showcases the bustling activity of Rochdale Centre, with its grand buildings and well-dressed residents going about their daily business. The imposing Town Hall, with its clock tower and intricate architectural details, stands proudly at the centre of the image. To the left, Drake Street is filled with horse-drawn carts and trams, adding to the hive of activity and the sense of a thriving community. The trams, a common sight in Manchester during this period, are a particular highlight of the photograph. They represent the city's forward-thinking approach to transportation and its commitment to modernizing infrastructure. The trams, with their distinctive red and white livery, add a pop of colour to the otherwise muted tones of the image. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the fashion of the time, with women wearing high-collared blouses and long skirts, and men donning formal suits and hats. The presence of children playing in the streets adds a touch of innocence and joy to the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of Rochdale and Manchester during the early 1900s. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once lived, worked, and played in this bustling urban centre, and to appreciate the beauty and charm of a bygone era.
