EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Tilbury Fort in all its glory. Taken by Ethel Davies in 2009, this image showcases the grandeur of a fort that has stood the test of time. Located in Tilbury, Essex, England, this fort was built by Henry VII during the 15th century and remained operational until World War II. Once known as Thermitage Bulwark and West Tilbury Blockhouse, this Thames estuary-side fort played a significant role in English history. It served as a stronghold for centuries before being demobilized in 1950. Today, it stands proudly as an English Heritage Site. Davies' photograph beautifully captures the architectural marvels of Tilbury Fort. The horizontal composition allows viewers to appreciate its imposing structure against the backdrop of River Thames. The canon showcased within adds an element of authenticity to this historical gem. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time to witness both past and present converge at one location. This photograph is not just a visual delight; it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how these structures have shaped our world today.
