EDITORS COMMENTS
Moot Hall, Hexham, Northumberland - A Timeless Snapshot of History (circa 1950) Nestled in the heart of Hexham, Northumberland, stands the magnificent Moot Hall, a historic building steeped in tradition and local lore. This evocative black-and-white photograph, taken by Terry Parker around 1950, captures the essence of a bygone era. The Moot Hall, with its intricately carved wooden beams and grand arched windows, has been a landmark in Hexham for centuries. Originally built in the 13th century as a marketplace and court, the name 'Moot' derives from the Old English word 'mote,' meaning 'meeting.' Over the centuries, it has served various functions, including as a courthouse and a venue for the town's annual corn and sheep markets. In this photograph, the Moot Hall appears serene and unchanged, with its doors wide open, inviting passersby to step inside and explore its rich history. The cobblestone streets, lined with quaint shops and houses, add to the charm of this picturesque scene. The image is further enhanced by the crisp autumn leaves scattered on the ground, creating a sense of seasonal beauty and tranquility. The Moot Hall continues to be a source of pride for the people of Hexham and a popular tourist attraction. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the town's rich history and its commitment to preserving its heritage. This photograph by Terry Parker, taken over six decades ago, offers a glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring charm of Moot Hall and Hexham.
