"jul16: A Journey Through Time and Places" Step back in time to July 1916, where the Sea Bathing Pool (Lido) at Southport, Lancashire, England was a popular destination for locals seeking respite from the summer heat. In this captivating snapshot of history, we catch a glimpse of high society as the Marquess and Marchioness of Milford Haven grace us with their presence. Their elegance and poise are truly timeless. Moving forward to July 1926, we encounter a thought-provoking bust of Cicero, reminding us of the enduring wisdom and influence of ancient thinkers even in modern times. Fast forward again to July 1946 when Douglas Bader - Flying Ace of WW2 - stands tall on his prosthetic legs on the platform of Chancery Lane Underground Station. His indomitable spirit serves as an inspiration to all who face adversity. Across continents and oceans, we find ourselves in North Carolina's Hotel Sir Walter Raleigh in July 1956. This grand establishment exudes Southern charm while offering guests a taste of true hospitality. Venturing further south to New Orleans in July 1963 brings us to Walgreen Drug Store on Baronne and Canal Streets. Here, locals gather for their daily needs while immersing themselves in the vibrant energy that permeates this iconic city. Leaving urban landscapes behind, our journey takes us deep into Granite Quarry, New Hampshire's rugged terrain in July 1976. Witnessing workers channeling granite showcases both human determination and nature's raw beauty colliding harmoniously. Returning briefly to British culture through The Tatler covers from various years reveals fashion trends that captivated debutantes at parties or celebrated floral motifs that adorned runways during Julys past. Finally arriving at picturesque Newcastle Beach in New South Wales, Australia during July 1996 allows us to bask under golden rays while embracing coastal serenity.
