EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Salisbury, Wiltshire, between 1925 and 1935. Standing tall and proud at the heart of this medieval city is the iconic Poultry Cross, a symbol of urban life and commerce. The photograph captures a unique perspective from the corner of Silver Street and Minster Street, offering a glimpse into daily life during that era. The Poultry Cross takes center stage in this image, its intricate design reflecting the rich history of Salisbury. Its imposing structure serves as both a shelter for pedestrians seeking respite from unpredictable weather conditions and as a meeting point for locals engaging in lively conversations or conducting business transactions. Surrounding the cross are an array of charming shops that line these historic streets. Each storefront tells its own story through faded signage and inviting window displays. These establishments would have catered to various needs - from local produce to artisan crafts - creating a vibrant marketplace atmosphere. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this print not only captures architectural beauty but also provides valuable insights into how our towns have evolved over time. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the significance of historical landmarks like Poultry Cross while immersing themselves in the sights and sounds that once filled these ancient streets.
