EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases The Five Lamps in Thornaby, a historic landmark located near Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough in Yorkshire, England. The Five Lamps, a name derived from the five cast-iron lamps that adorn the intersection, has long been a symbol of the area's rich history. In this image, we witness a bustling scene of activity, with horse-drawn carts and trams sharing the narrow streets. The tram, a significant mode of transportation during this era, adds a sense of movement and progress to the scene. The lamps themselves, standing tall and proud, illuminate the intersection, providing guidance and safety to those navigating the busy streets. The Five Lamps was not only an essential junction for transportation but also a social hub for the community. People from all walks of life gathered here, making it a vibrant and lively part of Thornaby's social fabric. The photograph captures the essence of this community spirit, with people engaged in conversation, children playing, and merchants setting up their stalls. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that has shaped the identity of Thornaby and its people. The Five Lamps continues to stand as a testament to the area's rich history and the resilience of its community, making it a cherished part of Yorkshire's cultural heritage.
