EDITORS COMMENTS
Old Market Hall and Lord Clive's Statue, Shrewsbury, Shropshire (circa 1900) This evocative photograph captures the Old Market Hall and Lord Clive's Statue in the heart of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, during the late Victorian or Edwardian era. The Old Market Hall, a magnificent Tudor-style building, dominates the scene with its intricate timber-framing and ornate gables. The market hall, which dates back to the 15th century, was a bustling hub of activity in days gone by, where local farmers and traders would sell their wares. In the foreground, Lord Clive's statue stands proudly on its plinth, facing the road. Clive of India, born in Shrewsbury in 1621, was a renowned British military leader and politician, best known for his role in the conquest of India. His statue, erected in his hometown in the late 19th century, serves as a reminder of Shrewsbury's rich historical heritage. The quiet, empty streets and deserted kiosks add to the sense of nostalgia and tranquility, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The sunblinds on the market hall's windows, which would have once shielded shoppers from the sun, now hang limply, adding to the stillness of the scene. The clock on the market hall tower strikes the hour, but the town appears to be asleep, with no sign of the hustle and bustle that would have once filled these streets. This photograph is a beautiful testament to the history and charm of Shrewsbury, a town that has managed to preserve its past while embracing the present. The Old Market Hall and Lord Clive's Statue continue to be popular tourist attractions, drawing visitors from around the world who are drawn to the town's rich heritage and timeless beauty.
