EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian Leicester. The image showcases the exterior of Joseph Johnson's shop, a prominent establishment that would later transform into the renowned Fenwicks department store. Standing proudly on the corner of Market Street and Belvoir Street, this architectural gem exudes an air of elegance and grandeur. The photograph, expertly captured by Bedford Lemere and Co in 1885, offers a glimpse into a bygone era when high street shopping was at its peak. The intricate details of the building's facade are truly mesmerizing; from ornate window displays to elaborate signage, every element speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this period. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history, it is impossible not to be transported back in time. We can almost hear the clatter of horse-drawn carriages passing by as shoppers eagerly explore what lies within these walls. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid modernization, remnants of our past continue to shape our present. Preserved within Historic England Archive's vast collection, this print captures not only a physical structure but also embodies the spirit of an entire era. It allows us to appreciate how commerce has evolved over time while reminding us that some things remain constant – like people strolling along busy high streets seeking treasures just waiting to be discovered.
