EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a procession making its way through the bustling streets of Leicester, Leicestershire, England, in the 1910s. The British Shoe Company Store, with its grand signage and ornate facade, stands proudly at the head of the procession. The store's employees, dressed in their best attire, lead the way, followed by a colorful array of participants, including local dignitaries, musicians, and community members. The procession appears to be celebrating a significant event or milestone, as evidenced by the banners, flags, and festive decorations. The atmosphere is one of joy and camaraderie, as the community comes together to mark the occasion. The crowd that lines the streets adds to the sense of excitement and anticipation. The British Shoe Company, founded in 1880, was a prominent business in Leicester, known for its high-quality footwear. This procession likely marked the opening of a new store or the anniversary of the company's founding. The event would have been an important moment in the community's history, bringing people together to celebrate the success and growth of a local business. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the social and cultural fabric of Leicester during this period. It also highlights the importance of community and tradition, as well as the role that local businesses played in shaping the identity of the town.
