EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of Mitre in Burnley, Lancashire, captured in the early 1900s. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to an Edwardian era filled with history and charm. The cobblestone streets, once bustling with activity, now lie quiet and still, save for the solitary horse-drawn tram making its way down the road. The Victorian-era buildings, with their intricate brickwork and ornate details, stand proudly against the clear blue sky. Mitre, a small town located in the heart of Burnley, was once a thriving industrial hub, known for its textile mills and coal mines. The town's name is derived from the Mitre Bridge, which spans the River Calder and bears the shape of a bishop's mitre. This photograph captures the essence of Mitre's rich history, showcasing the town's unique character and the enduring charm of a bygone era. The horse-drawn tram, a common sight in the early 1900s, adds to the vintage feel of the photograph. Its presence serves as a reminder of the importance of transportation in connecting communities and facilitating economic growth during this period. The tram, with its passengers peering out of the windows, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the people of Mitre and Burnley. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a treasure trove of history and a testament to the power of photography in preserving the past. It invites us to reflect on the changes that have taken place over the years and to appreciate the beauty and resilience of the towns and cities that have shaped our history.
