EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Blast from the Past: Front Street, Alston, Cumbria in the 1960s" In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the quaint and picturesque Front Street in Alston, Cumbria, comes alive from the past. Situated near the historic market town of Carlisle, Alston is nestled in the heart of the English countryside, with the Pennines providing a stunning backdrop. This image, captured in the 1960s, offers a glimpse into the rich history and charm of this beautiful village. The cobblestone street, lined with traditional stone houses, exudes an aura of tranquility and timelessness. The buildings, some with their doors and windows open, reveal the daily life of the residents. The absence of cars, save for a few, adds to the quaintness of the scene. Instead, horses and carts, as well as people, are the primary means of transportation. The photograph also showcases the vibrant local culture. The colorful banners and flags hanging from the buildings indicate a celebration or festival taking place. The locals, dressed in their Sunday best, can be seen mingling and interacting with each other, creating a sense of community and togetherness. This photograph is a testament to the simpler times of the past, where life moved at a slower pace, and the importance of community and tradition were at the forefront. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and history of Alston, Cumbria, and the unique charm of rural England during the 1960s.
