Council Homes Flats Housing Estate Social Housing Tower Block
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in Birmingham's history. The image showcases the iconic Brooks Tower, standing tall amidst the bustling neighborhood of Newtown on a chilly winter day - December 15th, 1975. This architectural marvel was not just another tower block; it represented hope and progress for the community. The tower's sleek design and towering presence symbolized an era of urban development and social housing initiatives in the 1970s. These flats were more than just buildings; they provided much-needed council homes for families seeking affordable accommodation during a time of economic uncertainty. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to a bygone era where life unfolded within these walls. The tower block served as a microcosm of society, witnessing countless stories of joy, struggle, love, and resilience over its lifetime. Memory Lane Prints has beautifully captured this snapshot from Birmingham's past with remarkable clarity. It serves as both a nostalgic reminder for those who experienced that period firsthand and an educational piece for future generations eager to learn about their city's heritage. Let this image be a testament to the power of architecture in shaping communities and providing shelter for those in need. May it serve as an enduring tribute to all who called Brooks Tower home during its heyday while reminding us never to forget our roots or the importance of social housing initiatives that continue today.
