EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Bowling Club pavilion of Old Trafford, Greater Manchester. Standing proudly since its construction in 1877, this pavilion holds a significant place in amateur sport history as one of the largest clubhouses ever built. Its grandeur and architectural style, reminiscent of Victorian Tudorbethan design, make it a true gem within the sporting community. From an eastern perspective, this photograph captures the essence of the Old Trafford Bowling Club's pavilion. The lush green bowling green stretches out before it, inviting players to partake in their beloved sport and recreation. This image is not just a testament to sports heritage but also serves as a window into Manchester's rich sporting past. The contrast between old and new is strikingly evident here. As we admire this 19th-century structure against the backdrop of modern cityscape, we can't help but appreciate how time has shaped our surroundings. It stands as a reminder that while progress may alter landscapes over time, certain landmarks remain steadfast symbols of tradition and history. Simon Inglis skillfully captures these elements through his lens, allowing us to relish in both the beauty and significance held within this single frame. Let this print serve as an homage to all those who have stepped foot on these grounds throughout generations - leaving behind their own mark on sporting history.
