EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Second World War, specifically to Stone Creek Battery 28501_053. Located in the picturesque East Riding of Yorkshire, this heavy anti-aircraft battery played a crucial role in defending against aerial attacks during one of history's darkest chapters. Dave MacLeod skillfully captures the essence and historical significance of this site through his lens. The image showcases the remnants of what was once an imposing structure, now standing as a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who served here. The weathered concrete walls bear witness to countless hours spent on high alert, protecting both local communities and vital strategic targets from enemy aircraft. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when fear mingled with determination filled these grounds. We can almost hear echoes of distant sirens and feel the tension that must have permeated every inch of this place during wartime. Historic England has preserved not only physical structures like Stone Creek Battery but also invaluable memories tied to them. This image serves as a poignant reminder that our past is not forgotten; it lives on through photographs such as these. Let us honor those who fought valiantly at Stone Creek Battery by cherishing their legacy and learning from their sacrifices. May this photograph continue to inspire future generations with its powerful depiction of history etched into stone.
