EDITORS COMMENTS
Demolition of Kingsteignton Pottery chimney in October 1968: a testament to change and progress. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the heart of England's industrial heritage, where towering chimneys once symbolized thriving communities and bustling factories. In this finely balanced composition, we witness the skilled craftsmanship of a steeplejack as he meticulously orchestrates the demolition process. The image encapsulates an era defined by transformation and innovation - the swinging sixties. As society embraced new ideas and technologies, traditional industries like pottery faced inevitable decline. Yet, amidst this bittersweet moment of destruction lies a sense of optimism for what lies ahead. The scene unfolds against the picturesque backdrop of South West Devon, showcasing both natural beauty and human ingenuity. The photographer captures every detail with precision; each brick crumbling under controlled force tells its own story. It is a poignant reminder that even structures built to withstand time are subject to change. This photograph not only documents an important chapter in British history but also invites viewers to reflect on their own personal connections to industry and work. It sparks nostalgia for a bygone era while reminding us that progress often requires letting go of what no longer serves us. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Mirrorpix, let it serve as a tribute to those who labored tirelessly within these walls - their legacy forever etched in our collective memory.
