EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic glimpse into the past, showcasing an Easiform terrace in Risca, Caerffili - Caerphilly, Wales. As we peer through the lens, our eyes are drawn downhill along a winding street lined with rows of terraced Easiform housing. The architectural style is characteristic of the 1960s era. Easiform was more than just a construction method; it represented innovation and progress during its time. Developed by John Laing and Son Ltd from 1919 onwards, this in situ pre-cast concrete technique revolutionized the way houses were built. It allowed for faster construction times while maintaining durability and affordability. The image exudes a sense of community as we envision families strolling down these streets or children playing games on their doorsteps. Each house stands proudly side by side, creating a harmonious symphony of uniformity that defines the terrace's charm. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era where simplicity reigned supreme. The absence of modern-day distractions allows us to appreciate the beauty found within these humble dwellings and their surroundings. A testament to architectural history, this print serves as a reminder of how innovative ideas can shape our built environment for generations to come. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as they provide valuable insights into our present and future urban landscapes.
