EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1907, transports us back in time to the quaint Redheads shop in Coniston, located on Yewdale Road. The shop, which still stands today, was then run as a newsagents and souvenir shop, providing essential supplies and mementos for visitors to this beautiful Lake District town. Two intriguing figures, identified as Wilson and Nelstrop, are seen standing in the doorway, deep in conversation with two women, Annie and Kate, who worked at the shop. Their friendly banter and relaxed demeanor add to the inviting atmosphere of the scene. The Redheads shop was a popular destination for both locals and tourists, and the photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of this bustling establishment. The women, dressed in their period attire, are busy at work, while the men engage in lively conversation, no doubt sharing stories and laughter. The image also provides a fascinating insight into the history of Coniston and its people during this era. The Redheads shop was more than just a place to buy newspapers and trinkets; it was a hub of community life, where friendships were formed and memories were made. This photograph, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history of Coniston and the enduring charm of its past. It invites us to imagine a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a day spent in a quaint shop in the Lake District were enough to make one's heart sing.
