EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, specifically April 4th, 1938. The picture showcases a picturesque view looking south along Watery Lane in Quinton, Birmingham, Midlands, England. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are greeted by Woodgate Lane intersecting with Watery Lane. The image captures a moment frozen in time. The scene is adorned with various elements that give us insight into life during this era. An advertising hoarding catches our attention as it proudly displays the name "Mitchells and Butlers" reminding us of an iconic brand from yesteryears. A ghost sign on an old building hints at its past glory as the Old Crown Inn. Road signs and telegraph poles line the roadway, guiding travelers through their journey. Sign writing adds charm to this vintage landscape while subtly promoting wines and spirits - a reminder of simpler times when advertising was more subtle yet effective. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history, it's important to note that commercial use should not be mentioned here; instead, let's appreciate how Memory Lane Prints has preserved this piece of West Midlands' heritage for generations to come. This print allows us to step back in time and witness the beauty of everyday life unfolding on these streets nearly a century ago.
