Sitting on the lock gate in the Bancroft gardens, Stratford
Sitting on the lock gate in the Bancroft gardens, Stratford, is a popular tourist attraction. And most of them are probably unaware that the lock itself is the link between the Avon and the canal, and that the gardens are sited on the old loading wharves. Here Bernice Farrell and Pat Ireland are enjoying the view. July 1958

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print titled "Sitting on the lock gate in the Bancroft gardens, Stratford" we are transported back to July 1958. The image captures a moment of pure joy and friendship as Bernice Farrell and Pat Ireland take a break from their holiday adventures to enjoy the picturesque view. Located in Stratford, these beautiful gardens have become a popular tourist attraction over the years. However, what many visitors may not realize is that they sit upon historic loading wharves, with the lock gate serving as a vital link between the Avon River and canal. As summer envelops them, Bernice and Pat find solace in each other's company amidst this idyllic setting. Their smiles radiate warmth as they soak up their surroundings - perhaps unaware of how this simple snapshot would be cherished for generations to come. This photograph encapsulates an era when holidays were treasured moments filled with laughter and exploration. It reminds us of simpler times when friendships blossomed under sunny skies and carefree days. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from Birmingham Post and Mail, this image invites us to reflect on our own memories of summers gone by – where locks opened doors to new adventures, canals whispered tales of distant lands, and true friendship was etched into every frame.
