EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Eileen Deste takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Colne, Lancashire. The image captures a picturesque scene along Craven Street, where history and industry intertwine seamlessly. As we gaze upon this snapshot from between 1966 and 1974, we are transported to an era when cobbled roads were still prevalent, and Edwardian terraces lined the street. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the towering chimney of Swanfield Shed in the distance. This industrial landmark serves as a reminder of Colne's rich manufacturing heritage that once dominated its landscape. It stands tall against the backdrop of quaint residential buildings, creating a striking contrast between past and present. Every detail within this frame tells a story - from the well-preserved setts on the road to the elegant street lamp casting its warm glow onto passersby. These elements contribute to an atmosphere that exudes charm and nostalgia. Eileen Deste's keen eye for capturing moments frozen in time allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also offers insight into daily life during this period. Through her lens, we can almost hear echoes of conversations among neighbors or catch glimpses of children playing on these historic streets. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into our shared past – reminding us how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
