EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Torquay 33207_028" transports us to the vibrant coastal town of Torquay in Devon. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady, this image captures a momentous event that took place on Torre Abbey Meadows in 2016 - a lively funfair. From high above, we are granted a unique perspective of the bustling fairground as it comes alive with excitement and joy. The vivid colors of the various rides and attractions create a kaleidoscope of happiness against the backdrop of the sparkling sea. The sheer scale and diversity of the fair is awe-inspiring; Ferris wheels towering over everything else, carousels spinning gracefully, and roller coasters daringly twisting through the air. The energy emanating from this scene is palpable - laughter fills the air as families enjoy thrilling rides together, children delight in winning prizes at game stalls, and friends share moments they will cherish forever. It's an enchanting snapshot that encapsulates both nostalgia for traditional seaside funfairs and an enduring sense of community spirit. Damian Grady's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the spectacle below but also how seamlessly this vibrant gathering blends into its picturesque surroundings. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Historic England's collection, we can't help but be transported back to those carefree summer days spent by the seaside – where memories were made amidst laughter, cotton candy sweetness lingered in every breath, and time seemed to stand still
