EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ferrers Close, a post-war architectural gem nestled in Coventry, West Midlands. Standing tall and proud, the row of houses showcases an intriguing blend of modern design and timeless elegance. Steven Baker's lens skillfully captures a general view from the southwest, allowing us to marvel at the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this residential masterpiece. The symmetrical arrangement of these 65 houses is truly awe-inspiring. Each dwelling boasts its own unique character while seamlessly harmonizing with its neighbors. The clean lines and geometric shapes pay homage to the contemporary style prevalent during this era. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but appreciate how Ferrers Close stands as a testament to Coventry's rich architectural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the city's resilience after World War II when it was heavily bombed and had to be rebuilt from scratch. Steven Baker's photographic prowess brings out every intricate detail – from the carefully designed windows that allow natural light to flood each home, to the well-manicured gardens that add vibrancy and life to this tranquil community. This print not only celebrates architecture but also invites us on a journey through time. It allows us to reflect on how our cities evolve over decades while preserving their historical charm for generations yet unborn.
