EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Radway Tower, standing proudly in Edge Hill, Warwickshire. The tower's construction began in 1742 as a commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the Battle of Edgehill, a significant event during the English Civil War. Designed by Sanderson Miller, an esteemed architect residing in nearby Radway, this octagonal structure exudes elegance and historical significance. The image showcases not only the tower itself but also provides a glimpse into life in 1920s Britain. A vintage car parked beside the tower adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of how transportation has evolved over time. The monochrome aesthetic further enhances its timeless appeal. Radway Tower stands tall against the picturesque countryside backdrop, symbolizing both strength and resilience. Its architectural beauty is evident from every angle captured by HJ Smith's lens. This photograph was featured in Hutchinson's Britain Beautiful edited by Walter Hutchinson for Volume 4 between 1924-1926. As we admire this print today, we are transported back to an era where history intertwines with artistry and nature seamlessly blends with human creations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil and conflict like those experienced during war times, there is always room for beauty and remembrance to flourish.
