EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled Memories CC025337, transports us back in time to the picturesque town of Wells in Somerset, England, in the late 19th century. The image, captured in June 1898, showcases a woman in an elegant Victorian dress, standing gracefully against the low stone wall on the west side of the Bishops Palace moat. The serene expression on her face and the delicate posy of flowers she holds in her hand add to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The Bishops Palace, a historic landmark in Wells, is beautifully reflected in the calm waters of the moat. The palace, which dates back to the 13th century, is a testament to the rich history and heritage of the area. The woman's elegant attire, with its high collar, long sleeves, and full skirt, is typical of the Victorian era, adding to the authenticity of the photograph. The photograph was taken for the London Midland and Scottish Railway, but it is not a company photograph. Instead, it is a charming snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the beauty of the past and the elegance of a bygone era. The London Midland and Scottish Railway may have used this image to promote travel to Wells and the surrounding area, but it also serves as an invaluable record of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and nature's beauty was a source of inspiration and joy. This photograph, preserved in the Historic England Archive, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that surrounds us, and the importance of preserving these precious memories for future generations to enjoy.
