EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, an ironwork inspection cover plate from the Blackpool Corporation sewers in Lancashire. Dating back to 1926, this sturdy plate was skillfully crafted by W E Wooley of Accrington and stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of its time. The intricate design on the cover plate, captured beautifully by photographer Peter Williams, reveals an array of opercula patterns that add a touch of elegance to this otherwise utilitarian object. The attention to detail is evident in every curve and line, showcasing the dedication and artistry put into its creation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when such ironworks were not only functional but also celebrated for their aesthetic appeal. This image serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can hold significant historical value. Stanley Park in Blackpool provides the perfect backdrop for this snapshot of industrial heritage. Surrounded by lush greenery and bathed in natural light, it highlights how something as seemingly mundane as a sewer cover can become an intriguing subject worthy of admiration. Thanks to Historic England's preservation efforts and Peter Williams' keen eye for detail, we are able to appreciate and marvel at these remnants from our past. This photograph invites us all to pause and reflect on the beauty found within unexpected places while honoring those who came before us with their exceptional workmanship.
