EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Clevedon Pier in North Somerset during a significant moment in its history. Originally opened in 1869, this Victorian pier stood as a testament to architectural beauty and leisurely recreation by the sea. However, tragedy struck during stress testing in 1970 when two of its spans collapsed, leaving an indelible mark on this beloved landmark. In the face of potential demolition, hope prevailed as determined efforts were made to salvage and restore Clevedon Pier. This photograph, taken by Jim Hancock in November 1970 from an aerial perspective, showcases the pier with its missing spans - a poignant reminder of both resilience and perseverance. The image serves as a visual time capsule capturing a pivotal chapter in Clevedon Pier's story. It stands as evidence of human ingenuity and dedication to preserving our heritage for future generations to enjoy. The reassembly and reopening of the pier almost two decades later, in 1989, symbolize triumph over adversity. Jim Hancock's skillful photography not only documents historical events but also evokes emotions through his artistry. Through his lens, we are transported back to that fateful period when Clevedon Pier faced uncertainty yet emerged stronger than ever before. This print is more than just an image; it represents the spirit of restoration and reminds us that even amidst challenges, landmarks like Clevedon Pier continue to stand tall against the test of time.
