EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1906, captures a moment in time at the Norfolk Arms pub in Marple, Cheshire. The image features two prominent local figures, Ernest Battersby and George Potter, standing in the doorway of the pub, while a local policeman stands to the side, adding an air of authority to the scene. The Norfolk Arms, which still stands today, is located at a busy junction in Marple, now managed by traffic lights to ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicles. In this early 20th-century photograph, however, the area appears quiet and serene, with horse-drawn carts and a few pedestrians making their way along the cobblestone streets. Ernest Battersby and George Potter were likely regulars at the Norfolk Arms, and their presence in the photograph suggests a strong sense of community and camaraderie. The local policeman, dressed in his uniform, adds an intriguing element to the image, perhaps indicating a close relationship between the pub and the local law enforcement. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the daily life and social customs of Marple over a century ago. The Norfolk Arms, with its rich history and continued presence in the community, remains an important part of Marple's heritage and a reminder of the area's past.
