EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Barton Aerodrome Control Tower, located in Liverpool Road, Eccles, Salford, Greater Manchester. Standing tall since its construction in 1933, this control tower is believed to be the oldest operational one in the world. Its historical significance is further highlighted by its Grade II Listed status. In this image taken from the southeast perspective, we are given a glimpse into the rich aviation history that surrounds this remarkable structure. The control tower's timeless design transports us back to the early 20th century when air transport was still in its infancy. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia as it captures not only an airfield but also a symbol of progress and innovation. It reminds us of an era when airports were bustling hubs of activity and air racing was a popular sport. Simon Inglis masterfully captures both the grandeur and simplicity of this architectural marvel through his lens. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of this historic landmark – from its sturdy construction to its commanding presence on Barton Aerodrome. As we admire this photo print, let us reflect on how far aviation has come since those early days while cherishing these remnants of our past that continue to inspire future generations.
