EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the Leicester Jewry Wall, a remarkable testament to the city's rich Roman heritage. Taken in April 2017 by talented photographer Damian Grady, this print showcases the fusion of ancient and modern elements that define Leicester's urban landscape. At the forefront of the image stands St Nicholas Church, its elegant spire reaching towards the sky as a symbol of faith and continuity. Nestled beside it is an architectural marvel: the remains of a Roman bath house. These centuries-old ruins serve as a tangible link to Leicester's past, offering glimpses into daily life during Roman times. The composition of this photograph highlights both historical significance and contemporary urban development. From above, we witness how these ancient remnants seamlessly coexist with bustling streets and modern buildings. The juxtaposition is striking; it reminds us that history lives on within our present-day surroundings. With meticulous attention to detail, Damian Grady has expertly captured not only physical structures but also emotions evoked by this scene. The play between light and shadow adds depth and texture to his work, enhancing our appreciation for Leicester's diverse architectural tapestry. As we gaze upon this stunning print from Historic England, we are transported through time – invited to explore both past and present narratives woven intricately together in one vibrant cityscape.
