EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming snapshot from 1985, we are transported back to a unique and whimsical moment in time. The Dowsell family, renowned steeple jacks by trade, find themselves enjoying an unexpected high tea with none other than Lord Nelson himself. Reg Dowsell, accompanied by his brother Terry, had been diligently erecting a platform around the feet of Nelson's Column for a television show. Little did they know that their work would lead them to this extraordinary encounter. Captured in the frame is Reg's daughter Lisa, just fifteen years old at the time. Filled with curiosity and adventure, she bravely ascended alongside her father for an unparalleled view of London from such great heights. As they paused for refreshment on their elevated perch, sipping cups of steaming tea amidst the clouds above the bustling city below. This image encapsulates both the humor and quirkiness of life as a steeple jack family during this era. It showcases not only their dedication to their craft but also their ability to find joy even in unconventional situations. Preserved through Alisdair Macdonald's lens, this photograph serves as a delightful reminder of how unexpected moments can create lasting memories that transcend generations.
