EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this early 20th century photograph of Ye Olde Thatche, a historic building in Eccles, Salford, Lancashire, England. Established in the 11th century, this ancient structure, with its distinctive thatched roof, has stood the test of time, serving as a symbol of the area's rich history. The quaint shopfront, adorned with wickerwork and traditional signage, once housed a variety of local businesses, including an Old Eccles Cake Shop. The photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian era, with people of all ages going about their daily lives. On the left, a poster advertising the appearance of the famous magician Harry Houdini at the Regent Theatre in Salford in 1905, adds an intriguing layer to the scene. The open doorway invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells that would have filled the air as customers entered the shop to purchase their favorite treats. A diverse range of goods were available at the shops, including Old Eccles Cakes, ice cream, herb beer, tobacco, and fry. The image also showcases the fashion of the era, with adults wearing boots and hats, and children dressed in simple garments. A policeman stands watch over the scene, adding a sense of security and order to the bustling street. The Old Eccles Cake Shop, with its charming atmosphere and traditional offerings, continues to be a beloved destination for visitors to Eccles, showcasing the area's unique history and heritage.
