EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print takes us back in time to the enchanting Leckhampton Hill, nestled in the picturesque town of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Captured by the talented photographer Jim Hancock in 1971, this image showcases the remarkable remnants of an ancient civilization - a Univallate Iron Age hillfort. As we gaze upon this stunning landscape from above, we are transported to a time when these earthworks were bustling with activity and served as a vital stronghold for its inhabitants. The intricate design of the hillfort's defensive structure is awe-inspiring; it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness. The print allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of nature and the historical significance that lies within these ancient walls. We can almost feel the whispers of history echoing through each blade of grass on this majestic hillside. Leckhampton Hill has long been revered for its natural beauty, but it is also steeped in rich archaeological heritage. This image serves as a reminder that beneath our modern lives lie layers upon layers of stories waiting to be discovered. Jim Hancock's skillful capture not only preserves this momentous site but also invites us to reflect on our connection with those who came before us. It reminds us that while time may pass and civilizations may rise and fall, there will always be traces left behind - reminders that we are part of an ever-evolving tapestry woven across centuries.
