This print transports us back in time to the enchanting town of Bishops Stortford, nestled in the picturesque county of Hertfordshire. Taken between 1948 and 1965, this British Railways (Eastern Region) carriage print by Leonard Squirrell captures the essence of a bygone era. The image showcases the quaint charm and timeless beauty that defined Bishops Stortford during this period. The streets are lined with historic churches, their spires reaching towards the heavens, creating a mesmerizing skyline against the backdrop of rural landscapes. Steeples pierce through fluffy clouds as if guiding lost souls home. Every corner reveals a new delight - villages adorned with colorful cottages exuding warmth and character; roads winding through lush green fields inviting exploration; and charming market squares bustling with life and activity.
