Bygones Devon Nostalgia Not Personality Seventies South West 1972
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
Step back in time to 1972 and witness the transformation of Hollicombe gas works in Preston, Paignton. This print captures a pivotal moment in history when most of the buildings had been demolished, leaving behind remnants of a once bustling industrial site. As you gaze upon this snapshot from Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, nostalgia takes hold and transports you to an era defined by change and progress. The image showcases the architectural remnants standing tall against the backdrop of a vibrant sky. The dilapidated structures evoke a sense of curiosity about their former purpose and the lives that were intertwined with them. It is as if time has frozen, allowing us to ponder on the significance these buildings held for those who worked within their walls. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into England's rich industrial past but also serves as a reminder of how landscapes evolve over time. The absence of human presence accentuates the stillness and invites contemplation about our own place in history. Whether you have personal ties to this location or simply appreciate historical documentation, this striking print allows you to connect with an important chapter in South West Devon's heritage. Let it serve as a window into another world – one where industry thrived and communities flourished amidst constant change.
