EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken circa 1906, captures a moment in time at the Castle Hotel in Bakewell, Derbyshire. The Castle Hotel, now known as the Castle Inn, has stood proudly in the heart of this picturesque town for over a century, making it a cherished part of Bakewell's rich history. In the foreground, Ernest Battersby, a local resident, is seen standing in the doorway of the Castle Hotel. His expression suggests a sense of familiarity and belonging, as if he has many memories connected to this historic building. The man sitting on the steps, named Ted Ellis, appears to be deep in thought, adding to the sense of nostalgia and introspection. The Castle Hotel, with its distinctive red-roofed facade and ornate stonework, has remained largely unchanged since this photograph was taken. The premises continue to be in business today, serving travelers and locals alike with a warm welcome and a taste of the region's finest food and drink. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the Castle Hotel was a beloved gathering place for the community. It serves as a reminder of the enduring charm and character of Bakewell and the importance of preserving its history for future generations to enjoy.
