EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating historical photograph that transports us back in time to the idyllic English countryside of over a century ago. The image, taken in the picturesque town of Selby in Yorkshire, showcases the stunning architecture of Selby Abbey as it stands proudly against the backdrop of lush greenery and the tranquil waters of the River Ouse. Selby Abbey, a former monastery and now a Church of England parish church, was founded in the 11th century and has played an essential role in the history of Selby and the surrounding area. The Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles of the abbey are evident in this photograph, with its intricate stonework, tall spire, and ornate arches. The photograph was taken in the park area adjacent to the abbey, which was once the site of Selby's medieval castle. The castle, which no longer exists, was built in the 12th century and was an essential stronghold during the English Civil War. The park, with its beautiful gardens and serene atmosphere, is a popular destination for visitors to Selby today. The year 1905, in which this photograph was taken, was an era of significant change in Selby and the wider world. The Industrial Revolution had transformed the landscape, and the town was undergoing rapid growth. However, the natural beauty of the area, including the abbey and its surrounding park, remained a source of pride and inspiration for the local community. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and enduring charm of Selby and its iconic abbey. It invites us to imagine the stories of the past that unfolded within its walls and the people who have walked through the park over the centuries. A truly captivating piece of history, this photograph is a must-see for anyone with an interest in English history and heritage.
