EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Old Cross on High Street in Newtownards, Northern Ireland, dating back to the year 1904. The image transports us to a bygone era, showcasing the quaint charm of this historic town on the Ards Peninsula. Old Cross, a distinctive landmark, stands proudly at the heart of the scene, its ancient stones weathered by time and the elements. The cross, believed to date back to the 15th century, has long been a symbol of faith and history for the community. Surrounding Old Cross, the High Street bustles with activity. Horse-drawn carts and carriages line the cobblestone streets, while locals go about their daily business. The shops, adorned with intricate signage, display a variety of goods, from fresh produce to textiles and hardware. The Ards Peninsula, located in the north of County Down, is known for its rich history and stunning natural beauty. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of those who once called Newtownards home. The buildings, though worn with age, exude a certain charm and character, their stories waiting to be discovered. The photograph captures the essence of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of community and tradition held great importance. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the power of history to connect us to the past and to each other, and the importance of preserving the stories and memories that shape our communities.
