EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and resilience. Entitled "Stone Creek Battery 28501_048" it takes us back to the Second World War, transporting us to the East Riding of Yorkshire in 2014. The image showcases a heavy anti-aircraft battery known as J/H9 at Stone Creek. As we gaze upon this aerial shot, we are reminded of the bravery and determination that defined an era. The remnants of this once-mighty defense system stand tall against time's relentless march, serving as a poignant reminder of those who fought valiantly to protect their homeland. The composition is striking, with its juxtaposition of nature's beauty and man-made structures. The lush greenery surrounding the battery offers a stark contrast to its cold concrete walls and towering gun emplacements. It is in this contrast that we find both solace and reflection. Dave MacLeod has masterfully captured not only a physical structure but also an intangible sense of history within his lens. Through his artistry, he invites us to step into the shoes of those who stood on these grounds during wartime - facing uncertainty with unwavering courage. In preserving this moment frozen in time, Historic England allows future generations to connect with our collective past. This photograph serves as a testament to human strength amidst adversity while reminding us never to forget the sacrifices made for our freedom today.
