EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Henry Bedford Lemere in 1916, transports us back to a time of elegance and tranquility. The image showcases Sandycroft BL23602_003, a beautiful detached house nestled in the charming Old Town Lane of Formby, Freshfield, Sefton, Merseyside. In the foreground lies a circular flower bed bursting with vibrant blooms that add an enchanting touch to this already picturesque scene. It is evident that great care has been taken in maintaining this delightful garden oasis. The flowers seem to dance harmoniously around the central focal point of the house, creating a perfect balance between nature and architecture. Sandycroft itself exudes timeless charm with its classic design and impeccable craftsmanship. Its grandeur is further enhanced by its historical significance as it was once home to Sidney John Lister - an esteemed member of society who worked for the renowned Cunard Steamship Company. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England's collection, we are transported not only through space but also through time. We can almost imagine ourselves strolling along Old Town Lane on a sunny afternoon in 1916, breathing in the fragrant air while admiring the beauty that surrounds us. Henry Bedford Lemere's skillful composition captures both the essence of Sandycroft and its idyllic surroundings flawlessly. This photograph serves as a testament to our rich architectural heritage and reminds us of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace amidst
