EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of coastal history - the Sentry Box in Brixham, Devon. Standing proudly against the backdrop of the sparkling sea, this small octagonal building has stood as a symbol of defence for centuries. Its four open-fronted triangular recesses were designed to accommodate sentries who diligently guarded this strategic location. Listed by Historic England, this structure is not only an architectural gem but also a testament to the region's rich maritime heritage. The composition beautifully captures its weathered exterior, constructed with rugged rubble stones that have withstood the test of time and countless storms. The Sentry Box stands as a silent witness to countless tales from days gone by - stories of brave soldiers keeping watch over these treacherous waters. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination exhibited by those who protected our shores throughout history. Dennis Coote CPAGB APAGB skillfully captures both the strength and serenity embodied in this scene. The contrast between solid stone and shimmering water creates an enchanting visual harmony that draws viewers into its timeless narrative. Whether you are fascinated by coastal defences or simply appreciate breathtaking landscapes, this print offers an evocative glimpse into Britain's past while celebrating its enduring beauty.
