EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Trafalgar Square in central London during the late 1960s, a time of significant social and cultural change in England. The iconic image features Nelson's Column standing proudly at its center, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the square. The column, topped with Lord Nelson's statue, has been a symbol of British victory since 1815, commemorating the Battle of Trafalgar. To the left of the column, St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church can be seen, its Gothic Revival architecture a striking contrast to the modernity of the surrounding area. The church, founded in the 13th century, has a rich history and is renowned for its musical traditions. The photograph, taken in 1968, offers a glimpse into the past, with the square teeming with activity. People can be seen milling about, some deep in conversation, while others appear to be lost in thought. The scene is filled with a sense of energy and excitement, reflecting the spirit of the era. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of Trafalgar Square and its historical significance. Despite the passage of time and the ever-changing cityscape, Nelson's Column and St. Martin-in-the-Fields continue to stand as symbols of London's rich history and cultural heritage.
