EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of an old city bellman in the ancient English town of Norwich, Norfolk, UK, in the year 1905. Dressed in a traditional uniform, the bellman proudly wears a tall, conical hat adorned with ribbons and bells, signifying his profession. He holds a handbell in one hand and a large, brass bell in the other, ready to make his announcements and calls throughout the town. The bellman's job was an essential part of the community, providing important information and news to the residents of Norwich. The bellman's uniform, fashioned with a long, double-breasted coat and waistcoat, is reminiscent of the traditional attire worn by tradespeople and craftsmen during the early 1900s in England. The bellman's profession, much like other ancient trades and jobs, adds to the rich history and cultural heritage of the town. Norwich, a historic city in East Anglia, is known for its ancient architecture and vibrant history. The city's bellman, with his distinctive uniform and bell, is a testament to the town's rich past and the importance of traditional trades and professions. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back in time to the streets of Norwich over a century ago.
