EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming village of Botesdale, Suffolk. Standing proudly on its street frontage is C. W. Ray Saddlers, a historic establishment that has witnessed centuries of equestrian craftsmanship. The building itself tells a story of architectural evolution - originally a late medieval hall house, it underwent remodeling in the 17th century. The gable end panel bears witness to this transformation with the engraved date "1637" serving as a reminder of the passage of time and changing tastes. Intriguingly, what catches our eye are the four horse collars prominently displayed in the shop's window, their leather sides facing outwards as if inviting passersby to appreciate their fine craftsmanship. These collars symbolize not only an essential tool for equine transportation but also reflect the dedication and skill of those who once worked within these walls. Beyond its storefront lies a jettied cross-wing that has been transformed into both a shop and workshop - spaces where artisans honed their craft and catered to customers' needs. Photographed by Hallam Ashley during the 1950s, this image captures not just an ordinary retail scene but rather offers us glimpses into history; it invites us to imagine bustling streets filled with horse-drawn carriages and locals seeking quality saddlery products. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate how places like C. W. Ray Saddlers connect us with our past while reminding
