EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Taunton, Somerset's Fore Street in the early 1900s. The image, taken in 1902, shows the busy commercial heart of the town, with horse-drawn carts and trams jostling for space on the narrow cobblestone street. The ornate cast-iron railings and lamps add a sense of elegance and order to the scene. At the far end of the street, the Burmah Cross or Burma War Memorial stands proudly, a testament to the town's connection to the Burmese campaigns of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The memorial, unveiled in 1902, honors the memory of the British soldiers who lost their lives during the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824-1826) and the Second Anglo-Burmese War (1852-1853). The cross, also known as the Celtic Cross, is a popular symbol of Christian faith and was a common choice for war memorials during this period. The Burma War Memorial, or Burmah Cross, is a poignant reminder of Taunton's rich history and its connection to the wider world. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a bustling town center filled with activity and the sounds of horse hooves and tram wheels on the cobblestones.
