EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blast from the Past: Skelton Street, Colne, Lancashire in the 1930s - Brown Bros. Confectioners and their Austin Delivery Van Skelton Street in Colne, Lancashire, England, near Nelson, transports us back in time with this photograph from the 1930s. The image showcases the quaint shop-front premises of Brown Bros. Confectioners, a beloved local business that once graced the streets of this historic town. The photograph reveals a bustling scene, with the Brown Bros. shop displaying an array of enticing sweets and treats, inviting passersby to indulge in a sweet escape. The store's windows are adorned with colorful posters and signs, while the exterior boasts intricate brickwork and a charming, old-fashioned facade. The star of the scene, however, is the Austin delivery van parked outside the shop. The vehicle, emblazoned with the Brown Bros. logo, is a testament to the business's commitment to delivering fresh confections directly to their customers' doors. The Austin van, a symbol of progress and efficiency in the era, is a stark contrast to the traditional shopfront, highlighting the balance between the old and the new. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasure of a sweet treat from the local confectioner was a cherished moment. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the character of Colne, Lancashire. This photograph, a precious piece of history from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to appreciate the enduring charm of Skelton Street and the businesses that once called it home.
