EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of Horbury-Wakefield Road and Cluntergate, as it once was, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. This image transports us to a bygone era, with the narrow, cobblestone street lined by quaint, red-brick buildings and horse-drawn carts making their way along the road. The warm, golden glow of the lantern light casts an inviting and cozy atmosphere, while the tall, Victorian-era houses loom in the background. Horbury, a small town located in the Metropolitan Borough of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England, is depicted in all its charm and character in this photograph. The name "Horbury" is believed to have originated from the Old English words "hord" meaning enclosure or fortified place, and "burh" meaning fortified town or fortress. Cluntergate, a street in Horbury, is shown in its full glory, with its quaint shops and homes displaying their wares and daily life. The horse-drawn carts, a common mode of transportation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, add to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is a treasure trove of history and a reminder of the simple pleasures of a time long past. The intricate details of the buildings, the horse-drawn carts, and the warm lantern light all come together to create a captivating and nostalgic image that is sure to transport you to another time and place.
