EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Lancaster, Lancashire takes us back to the summer of 1920. The photograph showcases the magnificent Lancaster Castle in all its grandeur, dominating the landscape with its imposing presence. This historic castle not only houses the Shire Hall and County Court but also served as a prison until 2011. The castle's keep, dating back to the 12th century, stands tall and proud amidst a sea of rooftops and greenery. Its ancient walls whisper tales of centuries gone by, offering glimpses into Lancashire's rich history. In this snapshot from above, we can also spot a charming church nestled nearby, adding an air of tranquility to the bustling urban scene below. The railway station sits at one end of town, connecting Lancaster to distant places and facilitating both trade and travel. This remarkable print is part of the Aerofilms Collection curated by Historic England. It allows us to marvel at how much has changed over time while appreciating what remains constant - Lancaster's enduring beauty and architectural heritage. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that even though years have passed since this photograph was taken, Lancaster Castle continues to stand as a symbol of strength and resilience within Lancashire's ever-evolving landscape.
