EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the charming streets of Burnley, Lancashire. Taken by the talented photographer Eileen Deste between 1966 and 1974, it captures a nostalgic view looking south along Mary Street in Fulledge. The cobbled road stretches out before us, revealing its Victorian origins through its well-worn stones. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to the Cricketers Arms Beer House standing proudly at the corner of Anne Street. Partially visible but still exuding character, it serves as a reminder of the bustling social life that once thrived within these terraced streets. The atmosphere is palpable in this image - smoke-blackened facades tell tales of coal fires burning inside each home, while wisps of chimney smoke dance against an overcast sky. It's a scene that encapsulates the essence of northern England during this era - gritty yet undeniably beautiful. Eileen Deste's skilled lens has captured not just a moment frozen in time but also an entire ambiance that resonates with those who appreciate history and heritage. This photograph is more than just a visual record; it evokes emotions and invites contemplation about how our surroundings have evolved over decades. Let this remarkable piece transport you to another era as you admire the craftsmanship of these cobblestones and imagine what life was like on Mary Street all those years ago.
