A brand new photograph for today’s Past Squares and one I took only a couple of weeks ago when I was in Taunton, Somerset. The outskirts of the town may be a traffic nightmare but in the centre you find yourself stepping back, or even spinning into the past.
Thank you to everyone who has left a comment as well as a pingback on my square posts. Conversations with you make the challenge so much more fun, and I love visiting your pingbacks. They, along with the #PastSquares, also help me create our Square galleries
Conversation is the really the best part! So many places to travel to and experience by being a part to “squares”!

What a lovely photo. The ‘how’ of accomplishing tasks in days gone by always amazes me.

Such a lovely photo Becky, and yes the traffic around Taunton is terrible! We got awfully lost when leaving Hestercombe and making for the coast road back in May (we were avoiding the jam-packed M5).

It’s put us right off that part of Somerset – worse than Hampshire.

Nice photo Becky. Had I seen it without any information, Taunton would not have been my first guess as to the location! Here’s mine today: https://grahamsisland.com/2021/10/08/early-morning-substation/

Just think, all our ancestral mothers (prior to the factory system) would had to do a lot of spinning like this. I also love the different layers in this photo – foreground, house interior, and view through the back door/window – a metaphor to match your title.
