EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo print, captured by Damian Grady, showcases a hauntingly beautiful yet devastating scene of Worcester County Cricket Club submerged under the relentless floodwaters of the River Severn in Worcestershire. The year was 2019 when nature unleashed its fury upon this historic city, leaving behind an indelible mark on its landscape. As you gaze at this image, your eyes are drawn to the cricket ground that once echoed with cheers and applause. Now transformed into a surreal water world, it stands as a testament to the power and unpredictability of Mother Nature. The flooded plain stretches out like an endless sea, reflecting fragments of buildings and trees that have succumbed to its force. The composition evokes both awe and melancholy as you contemplate the resilience of human structures against such overwhelming natural forces. It serves as a reminder that even our most cherished institutions can be vulnerable in the face of nature's wrath. Damian Grady's lens captures not just a moment frozen in time but also tells a story of survival amidst chaos. This photograph invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature and how we must adapt and protect ourselves from its unpredictable whims. In this remarkable snapshot from Historic England's collection, Worcester under water becomes more than just an image; it becomes a symbol of strength and unity in times of adversity.
