EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of everyday life in the 1910s in the small Derbyshire village of Somercotes, near Alfreton. The bustling street scene is filled with a diverse mix of people going about their daily business. In the foreground, a woman in a long skirt and bonnet walks along the cobblestone street, pushing a pram. A young boy in short trousers and a cap stands next to her, gazing up at something in the distance. Further down the street, a man in a flat cap and overcoat walks briskly, carrying a large bundle wrapped in brown paper. A horse-drawn cart laden with sacks passes by, its driver wearing a bowler hat and holding the reins tightly. In the background, the steeple of the local church can be seen, reminding residents of their community and faith. The scene is filled with the sounds of horse hooves on the cobblestones, the chatter of people, and the clanging of pots and pans from the nearby homes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era, where life moved at a slower pace and community was at the heart of daily life.
