EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, showcasing the remarkable progress made in infrastructure development. The image captures the final stages of the widening project on Gas Works Hill, a crucial stretch of road connecting Torquay to Paignton in England's picturesque South West region. The photograph highlights the immense effort put into this construction endeavor. A colossal retaining wall, measuring over 4 feet in thickness, stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Its completion was no small feat and came at a significant cost of £11,000 - an impressive investment for that era. Every detail within this snapshot speaks volumes about the industrious spirit of that time. Scaffolding surrounds the site while builders meticulously work towards completing their task. A commercial lorry parked nearby hints at how vital this road is for transporting goods and people between these two bustling towns. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then. This print not only evokes nostalgia but also sparks appreciation for those who paved the way for our modern transportation systems. Mirrorpix has once again captured an iconic piece of history through their lens, allowing us to reflect on both past achievements and future possibilities.
