EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Peter Williams captures the essence of Richborough Roman Fort in Kent, transporting us back to a time of ancient grandeur. The image showcases the fort's outer defences, leading our gaze towards the imposing power station that now stands nearby. Richborough Roman Fort holds a significant place in British history as one of the most important military sites from the Roman era. Its strategic location on the River Stour made it an ideal stronghold for protecting and controlling access to Britain during this period. The photograph beautifully portrays the fort's architectural marvels, with remnants of its defensive walls standing tall against the backdrop of lush greenery. The intricate details etched into these stone structures speak volumes about Rome's engineering prowess and their commitment to securing their empire's borders. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how civilizations have evolved over centuries. From serving as a crucial bastion against invaders to witnessing modern-day progress with the power station adjacent to it, Richborough Roman Fort has stood witness to countless transformations throughout history. Peter Williams' skillful composition allows us to appreciate both past and present simultaneously – a testament to his talent as a photographer capturing moments that transcend time itself. This print serves as an evocative reminder of our rich heritage and invites us all to explore and learn from our shared past at this remarkable archaeological site.
