EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a rather serene September day in 1949, capturing a deserted view across the marketplace in Lechlade-on-Thames. The image transports us to a bygone era, where time seemed to stand still amidst the quaint charm of this Gloucestershire town. In the heart of this tranquil scene stands Barclays Bank, proudly anchoring itself as a testament to enduring history. Remarkably, even after all these years, it continues its operations and remains an integral part of Lechlade's community fabric. The marketplace itself appears eerily quiet; perhaps it was captured during an early morning hour when most locals were yet to emerge from their slumber. The absence of bustling activity allows us to appreciate every architectural detail that adorns this picturesque setting. From the charming facades lining both sides of the street to the cobbled path beneath our feet, each element speaks volumes about Lechlade's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that progress is inevitable but should never overshadow our appreciation for tradition and local identity. This print serves as a poignant reminder that despite societal changes over decades, there are places like Lechlade-on-Thames that continue to preserve their essence and remain timeless havens for generations past and present.
