EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the magnificent Tilbury Fort, located in Tilbury, Chadwell St Mary, Essex. The image showcases the grand entrance of this 17th-century fortification, which was skillfully designed by none other than King Charles II's chief engineer. Photographed by Stanley W Rawlings between 1945 and 1965, this snapshot perfectly captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Tilbury Fort. The composition draws our attention to the intricate details of the entrance gate, adorned with ornate stonework that reflects the architectural style prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but imagine what life must have been like within these formidable walls centuries ago. It is a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship that such structures still stand strong today. Tilbury Fort holds a significant place in English history as it played a crucial role in defending against potential invasions from across the sea. Its strategic location on the River Thames made it an essential stronghold for protecting London from enemy forces throughout various periods. Thanks to S W Rawlings' expert eye behind the lens, we are transported back through time to witness a glimpse of England's rich heritage. This print serves as a reminder of our nation's resilience and commitment to preserving its past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
