EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of City of London, circa 1935. Standing tall on the corner of Friday Street and Queen Victoria Street, we see a remarkable piece of history - a Police Public Callbox. This iconic symbol of communication and safety was an integral part of urban life during that era. The callbox itself is a striking shade of blue, contrasting beautifully against the surrounding architecture. Its sturdy cast iron structure exudes strength and reliability, reflecting the values associated with law enforcement at the time. The attention to detail in its design showcases the craftsmanship prevalent during this period. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, it's impossible not to imagine how these telephone booths served as lifelines for citizens seeking help or reporting emergencies. They were beacons of hope amidst the city's hustle and bustle. Bob Manekshaw LRPS has skillfully captured this moment frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural beauty encapsulated within this image. Through his lens, he transports us back to an era when telecommunication was still evolving but already making its mark on society. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even though technology may have advanced since then, some things remain constant - our need for connection and assurance in times of uncertainty.
