EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and innovation at Sheerness Naval Dockyard in Kent. The focal point is the remarkable Boat Store, a pioneering multi-storey metal framed building that revolutionized architectural design. Dating back to 1859, this structure was truly ahead of its time. The main facade of the Boat Store is a sight to behold, adorned with rows of windows on each level. These windows not only allow natural light to flood into the interior but also serve as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship involved in its construction. Photographed by Eric de Mare in 1956, this image offers a glimpse into an era where naval dockyards were bustling hubs of activity. It transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the significance and grandeur of this historic landmark. Beyond its architectural marvels, what makes this photograph truly special are the people who once inhabited these spaces. Although they may not be visible within the frame, their presence can be felt through their workmanship and dedication that went into creating such extraordinary structures. This print from Historic England serves as a reminder of our rich maritime heritage and pays homage to those who came before us – individuals whose contributions shaped our world today.
