EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a moment in history from the 1910s in Northwich, Cheshire, England. Titled "Subsidance Work, Northwich, England," it showcases the impact of subsidence on the streets and shops of this quaint English town. The image depicts street lifting and shoplifting caused by the ongoing subsidence issues in the area.
The scene is both intriguing and somewhat unsettling as we witness the physical effects of geological instability on everyday life.
