EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Chapel Street in Headingley, Leeds. The image showcases the front view of numbers 6-14, a row of back-to-back houses constructed from beautiful gritstone during the mid-19th century. Originally part of two terraces, these Victorian gems have undergone conversion to create a smaller number of dwellings. The architectural charm is evident in every detail - from the sashed windows that adorn each house to the grand archway that welcomes residents and visitors alike. It's fascinating to imagine how life must have been for those who once called these houses home. Philippa Lewis has skillfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance embedded within this photograph. Each brick seems to whisper stories of bygone eras and generations past. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when these houses were bustling with activity and filled with families forging their own paths through life. Today, they stand as a testament to our rich architectural heritage and serve as a reminder of how communities evolve over time. This print serves as both a window into history and an appreciation for the enduring beauty found within our urban landscapes.
