Adlington Cheshire Considered Elderly Groups Identified Leigh Status Stonemason Typical 1902
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful photograph captures the tender moment between an elderly couple, William and his wife, and their beloved daughter, at their home in Styperstone near Adlington in North East Cheshire, in the year 1902. The image, identified as the "William Leigh and family" portrait, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a window into the lives of these individuals during a time when the industrial revolution was transforming the landscape of England. William Leigh, a skilled stonemason, is depicted in the photograph wearing a collared shirt, waistcoat, and trousers, typical attire for a man of his profession and social status during the early 1900s. His wife, dressed in a long, high-necked blouse and an elaborate, full-skirted dress, embodies the feminine fashion trends of the era. Their daughter, wearing a simple yet elegant dress with a high collar and long sleeves, completes the trio. The setting of the photograph further emphasizes the historical context, with the family standing in front of the stone exterior of their house, which reflects the craftsmanship and dedication of William's trade. The image, preserved in time, offers a poignant reminder of the love and connection between generations and the rich history of a bygone era. This photograph, a precious family heirloom, is a testament to the enduring bond between William, his wife, and their daughter, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
