EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history, transporting us back to a significant era in England's past. The image showcases a remarkable pillbox, known as Skipsea DP188366, standing proudly against the rugged coastal landscape of Withow Gap in East Riding of Yorkshire. As we gaze upon this relic from World War One, it becomes evident that this structure played a crucial role in defending England's shores during those tumultuous years between 1914 and 1918. The exterior view from the northwest reveals the pillbox's sturdy construction and strategic positioning along Hornsea Road. Its weathered walls bear witness to countless battles fought on home soil, symbolizing the resilience and determination of those who stood guard here. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of England's first line of defense during one of its most challenging periods. Anna Bridson skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit imbued within this historic site. Through her lens, we are transported into an immersive experience where we can almost hear echoes from soldiers long gone by. It is through photographs like these that we gain insight into our nation's past and pay homage to those who sacrificed so much for our freedom. As part of Historic England’s collection, this print stands as a testament to their dedication in preserving our heritage for future generations. Let us cherish such images that connect us with our roots and remind us never to forget the sacrifices made by those who came before us.
