EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Norwich, Norfolk. Standing proudly in all its Jacobean glory is the Samson and Hercules House, a magnificent architectural gem that has witnessed both triumph and tragedy throughout its existence. The image showcases the original front elevation of this historic building before it underwent alterations in 1890. It is fascinating to see how two iconic figures, Samson and Hercules, were inserted to support the porch, adding an element of grandeur and strength to an already impressive structure. However, fate dealt a cruel blow when a devastating fire ravaged the building in 1944, leaving only its ground floor intact. Undeterred by adversity, this resilient piece of history was painstakingly rebuilt to preserve its rich heritage for future generations. As we gaze at this photograph captured between 1875-1880, we are transported back in time; we can almost hear echoes of footsteps on cobblestone streets as people pass by this architectural marvel. The intricate details and craftsmanship speak volumes about a bygone era's dedication to beauty and artistry. The Samson and Hercules House stands not just as a testament to human resilience but also as a reminder that even amidst destruction, there is always hope for restoration. This striking image serves as an invaluable record of our past—a window into history that allows us to appreciate the lost treasures that once graced our cities' landscapes.
