EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Time Gone By - St Mary's Church, Battersea: A Historic Church Amidst Nautical Memories St Mary's Church, Battersea, located at Church Road in the heart of London, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural tapestry of the area. This evocative photograph, taken by renowned British photographer John Gay between January 1962 and May 1964, captures the essence of the church as it once was, with a unique and intriguing addition to its landscape. The image portrays the picturesque exterior of St Mary's Church, its ancient stone walls adorned with ivy, reaching towards the clear blue sky. The tranquility of the scene is contrasted by the presence of a mast and rigging in the foreground, reminiscent of a bygone era. The tree in the left corner, with its vibrant autumn foliage, adds a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic image. St Mary's Church, a place of worship and community since the 18th century, has long been a cherished landmark in the Battersea area. Its history is intertwined with that of the local maritime community, as evidenced by the mast and rigging in the photograph. This intriguing juxtaposition serves as a poignant reminder of the area's rich maritime heritage. John Gay's photograph is a snapshot in time, capturing the essence of St Mary's Church as it stood during the early 1960s. It invites us to reflect on the past and the stories that lie within the walls of this historic church and the surrounding community. This image is not only a visual treasure but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into a time when the church and the maritime world were inextricably linked.
