EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Gloucester docks in the 1920s. In this snapshot, we see a magnificent lorry proudly displaying the logo of the renowned Hercules Bakery parked outside Priday Metford mill. The image perfectly encapsulates an era when delivery services were still carried out with charm and character. The driver, dressed in his smart uniform, stands beside his trusty vehicle, ready to transport sacks of flour across England's south-west region. The lorry itself is a marvel of engineering from that time period - a Dennis model that exudes strength and reliability. Nostalgia fills the air as we imagine the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting through Gloucestershire's streets. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how transportation has evolved over the decades. As we gaze at this piece of history, it serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks like delivering goods can hold great significance for communities. It sparks curiosity about who these deliveries were intended for and what stories unfolded within those walls at Priday Metford mill. Memory Lane Prints has once again transported us back in time with their remarkable collection, allowing us to appreciate our heritage and cherish moments long gone.
