EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of Hesdin, a picturesque town located in the Pas-de-Calais region of France. Dating back to the 1910s, this photograph captures the charm and history of this quaint town, showcasing its mill and Old Fish Street (Rue Lancienne Poissonnerie) along the River Canche. The mill, with its impressive waterwheel and paddles, once played a significant role in the local industry, harnessing the power of the river to grind grain and sustain the community. The mill's intricate stonework and architectural details are a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the past. The Old Fish Street, lined with charming houses and quaint shops, adds to the town's allure. The street's name pays homage to its rich history as a center for fishmongers, where fresh catches from the nearby sea were once sold. The cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways, and charming architecture transport us to a bygone era, inviting us to explore the stories and secrets of this historic town. Hesdin's mill and Old Fish Street are just a few of the many treasures that await visitors to this beautiful corner of France. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the town's rich history and the charm that continues to draw visitors from around the world.
