EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, titled "Peterlee 34094_081" captures the essence of a thriving urban landscape in County Durham. Taken by talented photographer Emma Trevarthen, this image showcases the town centre, Castle Dene Shopping Centre, and New Town of Peterlee in all its glory. The carefully planned layout of this new town is evident from above, with neat streets intersecting at right angles and green spaces thoughtfully integrated into the design. The architectural diversity is striking as modern buildings harmoniously coexist alongside more traditional structures. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the bustling Castle Dene Shopping Centre. Its vibrant atmosphere can be felt even from high above as shoppers go about their day, exploring an array of retail outlets that cater to every need and desire. Beyond the shopping center lies a tapestry of homes and businesses that form the heart and soul of Peterlee's community. From here, one can appreciate how seamlessly industry blends with residential areas, creating a dynamic environment where work-life balance thrives. Emma Trevarthen has masterfully captured not just a moment frozen in time but also an entire narrative within this single frame. Her keen eye for detail allows viewers to immerse themselves in the rich history and promising future that defines Peterlee. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph by Historic England's talented artist Emma Trevarthen, we are reminded that cities are not merely concrete jungles but living entities shaped by human ingenuity and aspiration.
