EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a glimpse of history, this print takes us back to February 1959 when the Kingskerswell Arch proudly stood on Newton Road. A symbol of architectural beauty and grandeur, the arch gracefully welcomed travelers into the charming town of Kingskerswell in Devon, United Kingdom. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a bustling street scene that epitomizes the nostalgia of the fifties. The road is adorned with vintage lorries and commercial vehicles, showcasing an era when transport was simpler yet full of character. These vehicles paint a vivid picture of life in mid-20th century England. However, it is bittersweet to know that this iconic arch met its fate just five years later in 1964 when it was sadly demolished. Its absence leaves behind only memories and photographs like these as testaments to its once majestic presence. As we gaze upon this image from Mirrorpix's collection, we are transported back to a bygone era where time seemed slower and communities thrived amidst their unique landmarks. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how our surroundings shape our collective memory.
