Ashton Hurst Lancashire Lyne Procession Stalybridge
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of community and tradition in the small Lancashire village of Hurst, near Ashton-under-Lyne, during the 1910s. The image depicts a procession making its way through the narrow streets, with locals dressed in their finest attire and carrying banners and flags. The scene is filled with a sense of pride and celebration, as the villagers come together to mark an important occasion. The exact nature of the procession is not known, but it may have been a religious event or a commemoration of some kind. Regardless, the image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of people living in rural England over a century ago. The photograph was taken during a time of great social and economic change, as the Industrial Revolution transformed the landscape of the North of England. Yet, despite the encroaching modernity, traditional customs and community spirit continued to thrive in places like Hurst. The image is also a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve history. It invites us to reflect on the past, to learn from it, and to appreciate the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our world.
