Bunting Hedge Isle Lawrence Topiary Wight Liner
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard image captures the RMS Queen Mary Hedge, a topiary masterpiece located in the picturesque village of St. Lawrence on the Isle of Wight. The hedge, shaped like the hull of a ship, was created in the late 1940s as a tribute to the RMS Queen Mary, a legendary ocean liner that once graced the seas with its elegant presence. The RMS Queen Mary Hedge is a testament to the creativity and dedication of its creators, who meticulously trimmed and sculpted the hedge to replicate the intricate details of the ship's hull. The topiary artistry extends to the deck chairs, lifeboats, and even the Union Jack flags and bunting that adorn the hedge, adding to its authenticity and charm. The postcard, dated circa 1949, captures the hedge in all its glory, with the sun casting dappled shadows over its verdant surface. The surrounding landscape is dotted with quaint cottages, adding to the idyllic scene. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, when luxury liners ruled the waves and travel was an adventure. The RMS Queen Mary Hedge remains a popular tourist attraction in St. Lawrence, drawing visitors from near and far. It serves as a reminder of the rich maritime history of the Isle of Wight and the enduring allure of the sea.
