EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant streets of 1960s Birmingham. The image showcases the intricate architecture of St Phillips Cathedral, a beacon of Christianity in the heart of the city. However, it is not just the grandeur of the church that catches our attention; it is also the intriguing details in the foreground. In sharp contrast to the pristine beauty of St Phillips Cathedral, we see gas-piping round verges and rusty iron stumps of sawn-off railing scattered around. These remnants are soon to be removed from their current location near the Sebastopol memorial in the churchyard. Their weathered appearance tells stories untold, hinting at a history long forgotten. The juxtaposition between old and new creates an interesting visual narrative within this photograph. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, traces of our past remain embedded within our present surroundings. As we gaze upon this image captured on May 17th, 1967 by Mirrorpix for Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded not only of architectural marvels but also how time leaves its mark on everything it touches. This print encapsulates both nostalgia for a bygone era and curiosity about what lies ahead – an invitation to reflect on our shared heritage while embracing future transformations with open arms.
