EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous transformation in the heart of Liverpool. Taken on September 18th, 1971, it showcases the work in progress at Central Station in Ranelagh Street. The scene is one of dramatic change and anticipation as the buildings that once stood proudly in front of the station have been completely demolished. What steals the spotlight is the newly revealed glazed archway of the station, now open to the bustling street. This architectural marvel stands as a symbol of progress and connectivity, inviting travelers from all walks of life into its welcoming embrace. The image transports us back to an era when railways were at their peak, serving as vital arteries for transportation across cities and countries alike. It reminds us of how these grand stations were not just functional spaces but also works of art themselves. Neville Willasey's keen eye has captured this historical moment with precision and finesse. Through his lens, we witness both destruction and creation intertwined—a testament to human ingenuity shaping our urban landscapes. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder that progress often requires sacrifice; old structures must make way for new beginnings. Yet amidst all this change lies beauty—the beauty found within construction sites humming with activity and potential waiting to be realized. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to step back into time—to experience firsthand Liverpool's evolution while appreciating its rich history rooted deep within those very streets.
