A striking row of historic timber-framed buildings in Ludlow displays the characteristic architecture of medieval England, with Ye Olde Bull Ring Tavern prominently featured at ground level, its brick frontage bearing the establishment's name in golden lettering beneath storeys of intricately patterned dark wooden beams and cream-coloured infill panels that rise to steeply pitched gable roofs. The building, dated circa 1365 as indicated on its left side, showcases multiple mullioned casement windows with leaded panes that reflect the afternoon light, whilst decorative wrought-iron signs hang from the facade, including a stylised tree motif above the tavern entrance. To the right, neighbouring buildings continue the architectural tradition with their own geometric beam patterns and stepped gables, their pale stone construction providing contrast, and the wet paving stones below suggest recent rainfall, all beneath a partly cloudy sky.

A magnificent medieval stone bridge spans the River Teme at Dinham, its three graceful arches constructed from pale honey-coloured ashlar stone reflected in the still water below, whilst ivy and lichen cling to its weathered masonry and parapet walls that are dotted with small plants thriving in crevices. Dominating the skyline behind the bridge, the imposing ruins of Ludlow Castle rise majestically above the riverbank, its sturdy stone towers and crenellated walls partially softened by a vibrant display of autumnal foliage in shades of golden yellow, amber and green, with a red-brick Georgian building visible amongst the trees to the right. The foreground is framed by lush riverside vegetation including sedges and wild plants along the water's edge, whilst the clear blue sky dotted with white clouds and dappled sunlight create an atmospheric scene that captures the historical significance and natural beauty of this Shropshire landscape.

A magnificent timber-framed building with distinctive dark wooden beams contrasts sharply against cream-coloured infill panels, featuring multiple gabled roofs with ornate carved details and decorative bargeboards typical of late medieval architecture. The Feathers Hotel in Ludlow showcases intricate geometric lattice patterning across its windows and decorative panels, with the ground floor featuring shop frontage adorned with hanging baskets of vibrant pink and white flowers beneath a covered walkway supported by dark timber posts. The building's stepped gable roofline rises prominently against a partly cloudy blue sky, whilst neighbouring historic structures in pale cream render are visible to the left, and the wet paving stones below suggest recent rain, all capturing the charm of this Grade I listed building that stands as a quintessential example of English Tudor heritage architecture in the heart of Shropshire's historic market town.

A picturesque street scene from Broad Street in Ludlow showcases a striking contrast between architectural periods, with a timber-framed building featuring distinctive dark wooden beams and white infill panels dominating the foreground on the right, its ornately carved bargeboards and leaded casement windows exemplifying Tudor craftsmanship. Behind and rising majestically above the period buildings stands St. Laurence's Church, its golden sandstone tower soaring skyward with multiple decorative pinnacles and a row of tall, pointed lancet windows that speak to its Perpendicular Gothic heritage. To the left, a later red-brick Georgian building provides contemporary context to the medieval street layout, whilst ground-floor shopfronts including what appears to be a clothing retailer occupy the street level, and a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds illuminates the honey-coloured stonework, creating a scene that encapsulates Ludlow's rich historical layers.

A picturesque street scene from Broad Street in Ludlow showcases a striking contrast between architectural periods, with a timber-framed building featuring distinctive dark wooden beams and white infill panels dominating the foreground on the right, its ornately carved bargeboards and leaded casement windows exemplifying Tudor craftsmanship. Behind and rising majestically above the period buildings stands St. Laurence's Church, its golden sandstone tower soaring skyward with multiple decorative pinnacles and a row of tall, pointed lancet windows that speak to its Perpendicular Gothic heritage. To the left, a later red-brick Georgian building provides contemporary context to the medieval street layout, whilst ground-floor shopfronts including what appears to be a clothing retailer occupy the street level, and a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds illuminates the honey-coloured stonework, creating a scene that encapsulates Ludlow's rich historical layers and architectural significance as one of England's finest medieval market towns.

A magnificent timber-framed building with distinctive dark wooden beams contrasts sharply against cream-coloured infill panels, featuring multiple gabled roofs with ornate carved details and decorative bargeboards typical of late medieval architecture. The Feathers Hotel in Ludlow showcases intricate geometric lattice patterning across its windows and decorative panels, with the ground floor featuring shop frontage adorned with hanging baskets of vibrant pink and white flowers beneath a covered walkway supported by dark timber posts. The building's stepped gable roofline rises prominently against a partly cloudy blue sky, whilst neighbouring historic structures in pale cream render are visible to the left, and the wet paving stones below suggest recent rain, all capturing the charm of this Grade I listed building that stands as a quintessential example of English Tudor heritage architecture in the heart of Shropshire's historic market town.

The Neoliberal Holocaust by Paweł Wargan On 1 May 2009, a few dozen homeless peo- ple gathered in Katowice, Poland, to com- memorate International Workers’ Day. They raised the banner of the socialist Polish Peoples’ Republic—a society where, they said, food was affordable and jobs were abundant. “We want to restore the First of May as a day that defends the interests of the most disadvantaged,” the march’s organizer said. For a few hours, the most ne- glected residents of Poland’s eleventh-largest city lamented a time when their condition not only did not exist, but could not exist. “Your in- difference is our verdict,” they chanted. Why was this march—then ignored, now forgotten—so important? What is the mean- ing behind its appeal to Poland’s socialist past, a legacy that has been sullied and sapped in the decades since capitalist restoration? And why is it relevant in the much larger story of the mor- tality crisis that swept across the former social- ist states of Eastern Europe beginning in the 1990s—a catastrophe, unprecedented in peace- time, that claimed nearly 17 million lives?1 In the process of excavating our history, we often ignore the social relations—specifi- cally, the relations of production—that shape our experiences and, in turn, our perceptions and memories. “It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence,” Karl Marx wrote, “but their social existence that deter- mines their consciousness.”
