EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming streets of Sherborne in 1939. The image showcases a slice of everyday life, with a vintage car parked outside the shop of F W Pedley, a well-known draper and outfitter at that time. The building itself is an architectural gem, constructed way back in the 1530s. Its Tudor style is evident through its half-timbered façade and intricate details. Originally serving as Church House, this historic structure boasts a unique layout with shops occupying the ground floor while a Church Hall graces the first floor. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it's fascinating to see how motor transport was already making its presence felt on these quaint streets. The car parked outside F W Pedley's shop adds an element of modernity amidst the traditional surroundings. The signage adorning both sides of the store proudly announces its offerings - drapery and outfits for discerning customers seeking quality garments during that era. Preserved by C R Wrigley's lens in May 1939, this photograph not only captures architectural beauty but also serves as an archive documenting Sherborne's rich heritage. It reminds us of simpler times when shopping meant strolling along picturesque streets like Half Moon Street and stepping into local establishments like F W Pedley’s shop for all our clothing needs.
