EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the historic Debdon Sawmill and Power House, nestled by the tranquil Debdon Lake in Northumberland. Dating back to 2018, this image showcases the birthplace of the world's first hydro-electric power source, a groundbreaking invention that forever changed the course of industrial development. The significance of this location lies in its role as a pivotal energy generator for Cragside, the magnificent home of Lord Armstrong, an esteemed industrialist and inventor. It was here that innovative minds harnessed nature's power to illuminate countless lamps within Cragside's grand walls. Emma Trevarthen skillfully encapsulates both the architectural beauty and historical importance of this site through her lens. The sawmill stands tall with its rustic charm while adjacent is the powerful powerhouse that once supplied electricity to revolutionize daily life at Cragside. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous achievement in human ingenuity. This photograph serves as a testament to our ability to harness natural resources responsibly and sustainably for progress. Let us cherish Emma Trevarthen's remarkable work as it immortalizes not just structures but also stories - tales of innovation, determination, and foresight that continue to inspire generations even today.
