EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of Gillygate, York, taken from the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. This image transports us to an era long past, as we gaze upon the quaint, cobblestone street bathed in the warm glow of a gas lamp. The narrow, winding lane is lined with charming, old-fashioned shops and houses, their windows displaying an array of intriguing wares. The photo, taken in the early 20th century, showcases the unique character and charm of this historic area of York. Gillygate, located in the heart of the city, was once a bustling hub of activity, with its shops selling everything from fresh produce to textiles. The area was also known for its many inns and taverns, which attracted travelers and locals alike. As we study the photograph, our eyes are drawn to the figure of a woman in the foreground, carrying a lantern. Her presence adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene, as if she is about to embark on a journey into the unknown. The lantern, with its flickering flame, casts a soft, golden light upon the scene, illuminating the past in a magical and enchanting way. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and charm of Gillygate, York, and the bygone era it represents. It invites us to explore the stories and secrets that lie hidden within its walls and to appreciate the beauty and character of this historic city.
