EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of St Mary's Bridge in Derby, England, circa 1910. The bridge, an elegant architectural masterpiece, spans the Derwent River and connects the Old Town with the Cathedral Quarter. In the foreground, the bridge's intricate ironwork and stone parapets are highlighted against the shimmering water. On the far left of the image, the spire of St Alkmund's Church can be seen, a striking silhouette against the sky. This historic church, now demolished, once stood proudly in the heart of Derby, adding to the town's rich architectural heritage. Its loss is a reminder of the inexorable passage of time and the ever-changing landscape of our towns and cities. The Edwardian era, during which this photograph was taken, was a period of great social and economic change in Britain. The town of Derby was undergoing transformation, with new industries and innovations shaping its future. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a moment frozen in time, and invites us to reflect on the history and character of this Midlands town. The River Derwent, meandering gently through the scene, adds to the serene beauty of the image. The reflection of the bridge and the church in the water creates a mirror-like effect, enhancing the visual appeal of the photograph. This print is a testament to the enduring charm of Derby and its history, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
