EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by Jim Hancock in December 1970, showcases the picturesque Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club nestled in Somerset. Serving as a vital source of drinking water for Bristol since its opening in 1956, Chew Valley Lake also became a hub for leisure activities and recreational pursuits. The reservoir's tranquil waters provide the perfect playground for boating enthusiasts to indulge in their passion. From above, one can admire the vastness of this man-made lake and marvel at how it seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings. The boats scattered across the water's surface add vibrant pops of color against the serene backdrop, creating an idyllic scene that beckons visitors to explore and unwind. Established just four years prior to this photograph being taken, Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club has already become an integral part of the local community. Its presence is evident through the numerous sailboats dotting the lake—a testament to both its popularity and success. Jim Hancock's expertly captured image not only freezes a moment in time but also encapsulates the essence of leisurely activities enjoyed on these shimmering waters. It serves as a reminder that even bodies of water primarily intended for practical purposes can be transformed into havens where individuals come together to revel in nature's beauty and engage with their favorite pastimes.
