EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ironwork DP094924" captures the essence of Lower Marsh in Lambeth, London. As our gaze is drawn downwards, we are met with a fascinating view of a coal hole plate adorned with an intricate ironwork design. The craftsmanship displayed by J. W. Cunningham & Co is truly remarkable. In this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible to ignore the unexpected presence of a dog standing proudly atop the coal hole plate. This delightful addition adds a touch of whimsy and charm to an otherwise utilitarian object. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, there are moments of unexpected joy waiting to be discovered. The photograph expertly showcases the beauty found within everyday objects that often go unnoticed or unappreciated. The opercula-like pattern on the iron cover creates an intriguing visual texture against the backdrop of Lower Marsh's urban landscape. Derek Kendall's keen eye for detail has allowed us to appreciate not only this particular piece but also highlights how architectural elements can tell stories about history and culture. Through his lens, he invites us to explore hidden gems scattered throughout our cities - treasures that may hold secrets from times long gone. As we admire this stunning image captured by Historic England, let us take a moment to reflect on the rich heritage embedded within these seemingly mundane objects and celebrate their contribution to our collective memory.
