EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Cole showcases the magnificent Thornton Abbey Barbican and Gatehouse in North Lincolnshire. The image beautifully captures a view from the west, encompassing not only the grandeur of the medieval entrance but also the adjacent car park. The imposing structure of the gatehouse stands tall, its weathered stone walls telling tales of centuries past. Its intricate architectural details are highlighted by soft sunlight that filters through ancient trees nearby. The barbican, with its fortified walls and arched gateway, adds an air of mystery to this historic scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when knights on horseback would have passed through these very gates. We can almost hear echoes of their armor clanking against each other as they prepared for battle or returned home victorious. Steve Cole's expert composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of this remarkable heritage site - from the delicate tracery on windows to the sturdy wooden doors guarding secrets within. It is a testament to his skill as a photographer and his passion for preserving England's rich history. This print serves as a reminder that our past is alive and thriving in places like Thornton Abbey Barbican and Gatehouse. It invites us to explore further into our country's fascinating medieval legacy while igniting our imagination with stories waiting to be discovered within these ancient walls.
