EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the 1920s in the quaint town of Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England. The image features Fred Boulton and his sister Elsie, standing proudly by their family's delivery van in The Horsefair, the heart of the town where their bakery was located. The siblings are dressed in typical attire of the time, with Fred wearing a flat cap and a smart shirt, while Elsie dons a simple blouse and an apron. Fred, the eldest son of Richard Boulton, was responsible for delivering the freshly baked goods from the family bakery to their loyal customers in and around Malmesbury. Elsie, on the other hand, worked tirelessly in the bakery, ensuring that the aroma of fresh bread and pastries filled the air each day. The delivery van, devoid of any livery, sits quietly in the background, a testament to the humble yet essential role it played in the successful operation of their small business. The Horsefair, a bustling marketplace, is filled with activity in the background, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the scene. The horse-drawn carts and the delivery van, a common sight during this era, further emphasize the historical significance of the photograph. This image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of a traditional bakery in the 1920s and serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape our communities today.
