EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a street scene in the quaint English village of Croston, located near Leyland and Eccleston in Lancashire. Dating back to the 1910s, this photograph transports us to a bygone era, filled with history and charm. At the heart of the scene, the Parish Church of St. Michael and All Angels stands proudly, its ancient walls and towering spire reaching for the heavens. The church, a significant landmark in the village, has been a place of worship for centuries, with records dating back to the 12th century. The bustling street is lined with traditional English houses, their red-brick facades adorned with ivy and flowers, adding a splash of color to the monochrome scene. People go about their daily business, some stopping to chat with neighbors, while others carry out errands or tend to their gardens. The horse-drawn carts and wagons add to the authenticity of the scene, reminding us of a time before automobiles dominated the roads. The horse, a common mode of transportation in rural areas during this period, is seen hitched to a cart, waiting patiently for its owner to return. The village of Croston, with its rich history and picturesque setting, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a deeper appreciation for the simple pleasures of rural life in England during the early 20th century.
