EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling streets of Leeds, West Yorkshire on a rainy day in March 1964. The image showcases a remarkable technological marvel of its time - a brand new moving pavement. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we are transported to an era where modernity was embraced with awe and wonder. In the foreground, a mother is seen carefully navigating the moving pavement while pushing her child in a stylish pushchair. Despite the rain pouring down relentlessly, she shields herself and her little one with an umbrella, showcasing both practicality and resilience. The surrounding shopping center comes alive with shops adorned by vibrant signs that hint at the fashion trends and consumer culture prevalent during the swinging sixties. John Varley's keen eye for detail captures not only the physical environment but also reflects upon society's embrace of progress during this transformative period. This photograph serves as a testament to how technology seamlessly integrated itself into everyday life, making mundane tasks such as walking through crowded spaces more convenient. As we gaze at this mesmerizing piece of history frozen in time, it reminds us that even amidst rain-soaked streets, innovation continues to shape our world. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since then while appreciating those who paved the way for future advancements in urban infrastructure design.
