EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming photograph of G. Collins, the confectioner, and his Refreshment Room & Cyclists Rest, circa 1909. The image captures the quintessential English spirit of the early 20th century, with its elegant shopfront and inviting terrace. G. Collins' establishment was a popular gathering place for cyclists and locals alike, offering a respite from the bustling streets. The confectioner's shop was known for its delicious cakes, pastries, and other sweet treats, which were displayed in the window to entice passersby. The shopfront, adorned with ornate details and a vibrant color palette, exudes an air of sophistication and charm. The terrace, with its wrought-iron chairs and tables, provides a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for customers to enjoy their refreshments. The cyclists in the photograph add an interesting element to the scene, reflecting the growing popularity of cycling as a mode of transportation during this time period. The image captures a moment of leisure and relaxation, as the cyclists take a break from their journey and indulge in a sweet treat. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the past, and the simple pleasures of a bygone era. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who frequented G. Collins' Refreshment Room & Cyclists Rest, and the memories they created there.
