EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Sandycroft, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Old Town Lane, Formby. The year is 1916, and we find ourselves standing beneath the grandeur of "The pergola at Sandycroft BL23602_006" captured by the talented lens of Henry Bedford Lemere. As our eyes wander through this picturesque scene, we are immediately drawn to the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating this stunning garden feature. The pergola stands tall and proud, adorned with lush climbing vines that gracefully intertwine with its elegant structure. Sunlight filters through the leaves above, casting dappled shadows on the meticulously laid brick path below. It was Sidney John Lister who called Sandycroft home during these early 20th century years. A man whose professional endeavors led him to work for none other than the prestigious Cunard Steamship Company - a testament to his ambition and success. In this frozen moment in time, Lemere's lens captures not only a beautiful garden but also an era filled with tranquility and grace. It serves as a reminder of how nature has always been able to provide solace amidst bustling city life. Today, this remarkable photograph allows us to step back into history and appreciate both Lemere's artistry behind the camera lens and Sandycroft's timeless beauty.
