EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a moment of contrasting passions, this print from July 23rd, 1972 takes us back to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. In this picturesque scene, two different worlds collide as energetic canoeists from the Lancashire, Cheshire, and Isle of Man TAVR Association gracefully glide past sedentary Sunday anglers. The focus of the picture lies on the thrilling competition taking place on the canal waters - TAVR's individual canoe time trials. The skilled canoeists showcase their prowess as they navigate through the tranquil canal with determination and precision. Meanwhile, a lone fisherman seated by the water's edge adds a touch of tranquility to this vibrant tableau. Eager to wet his line and eager for adventure himself, he stands in stark contrast to the dynamic athletes in their canoes. This snapshot encapsulates an era when outdoor leisure activities were cherished moments of respite from daily routines. Nigel Wigglesworth skillfully captures both movement and stillness in one frame – silhouettes against scenic landscapes that evoke nostalgia for simpler times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a summer day in 1972 where sport met serenity along the historic Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
