EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Village Stocks in Seamer, taken in the year 1928. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a bygone era. The quaint village scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, with the Village Stocks taking center stage. The wooden structure, with its intricately carved designs, stands tall and proud, a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The stocks are surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers, their expressions a mix of amusement and intrigue. The Village Stocks, a relic of the past, were once a common sight in English villages. Used for public shaming and punishment, they were a symbol of community justice in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. However, by the early 20th century, they had fallen out of use and were often seen as quaint relics of a bygone age. This photograph captures the essence of a simpler time, a time when life moved at a slower pace and communities were closely knit. The image is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped our villages and towns, making it a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, vintage photography, or the English countryside. The lantern slide format of this photograph adds to its charm, transporting us back in time with its warm, nostalgic glow. This is a unique and beautiful piece of history, perfect for adding character and depth to any room or collection.
