EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of a luncheon held in the Talbot Gallery at Alton Towers on 13th April 1860. The Talbot Gallery, a stunning interior of the stately home, was the setting for the celebration marking the taking possession of Alton Towers by Henry Chetwynd-Talbot, the 18th Earl of Shrewsbury. The Earl is seen seated at the head of the long table, surrounded by an array of elegantly dressed guests. The intricately designed ceiling of the gallery is adorned with ornate plasterwork and vibrant frescoes, adding to the opulence of the scene. The tables, laden with fine china, crystal glassware, and sumptuous food, reflect the wealth and status of the hosts. The Talbot Gallery, with its grandeur and historical significance, stands in stark contrast to the modern-day theme park that now shares its name and grounds with the stately home. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1860s in Staffordshire, England, and the historical event that took place within the walls of Alton Towers.
