This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Torquay in May 1971. The image captures a significant moment in history as the old Torquay coach station shelter is being dismantled, forever altering the landscape of this charming seaside town. The scene showcases a hive of activity, with workers diligently disassembling the structure piece by piece. It's evident that this demolition project was no small feat, as cranes and construction equipment dominate the foreground. The surrounding street is filled with an array of vintage cars, each one representing a snapshot from a bygone era. As we gaze at this nostalgic photograph, we can't help but feel a sense of melancholy for what once was. The old coach station shelter stood as not just a functional space for travelers but also as an iconic landmark that held countless memories for locals and visitors alike.
