In the year 1900 the United Kingdom was in the Victorian era. However, within a year everything would change upon the death of queen Victoria which would usher in two new eras, The Edwardians and The Georgians.
The photographs reproduced below span the first six years of this new era, often now seen as an Indian Summer of untroubled times of great innovation and for some a growing prosperity.
Below are Finedon Co-op 1902, Laws Lane 1903, Finedon Crossroads 1905, Lime Tree End 1903, Church St 1905, High St 1905 and an image of Finedon Parade 1905 in front of Bobby’s Entry Cottages.
