EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo print, captured by the talented photographer Damian Grady, showcases the historic Greenham Common 27439_023. Located in West Berkshire, this former USAF munitions storage bunkers complex played a significant role between 1980 and 1991 as the Ground Launched Cruise Missile Alert and Maintenance Area. The image reveals an expansive airfield surrounded by concrete structures that once housed powerful weaponry. The sheer scale of these bunkers is awe-inspiring, reminding us of their crucial role during a pivotal period in history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when tensions were high and global politics shaped our world. Damian Grady's skillful composition captures not only the physicality of these structures but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. The juxtaposition of nature's greenery against the cold concrete serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and uncertainty, life continues to thrive. Historic England has curated this remarkable piece to preserve our collective memory and honor those who served at Greenham Common. It stands as a testament to human resilience while urging us never to forget the lessons learned from our past. As we contemplate this striking image, let it serve as both a tribute to history and an inspiration for future generations – encouraging them to seek understanding, peace, and progress in times of adversity.
