EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of St Sepulchres Church, located in the heart of Holborn Viaduct, City of London. Taken from a south-east perspective, the image showcases the church's magnificent medieval architecture against a backdrop of bustling city life. Standing tall and proud, St Sepulchres Church exudes an aura of serenity amidst the urban chaos that surrounds it. Its ancient stone walls tell stories that span centuries, bearing witness to countless generations who have sought solace within its hallowed halls. In this particular moment frozen in time, a vibrant red bus passes by in the foreground, adding a touch of modernity to this otherwise historic scene. The juxtaposition between past and present is striking; it serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, there are still remnants of our rich heritage that endure. Margaret F Harker's keen eye for detail has beautifully captured not only the physical grandeur of St Sepulchres Church but also its enduring significance as an architectural gem within London's landscape. This photograph transports us back to an era when double-decker buses roamed these streets during the 1950s - an era filled with nostalgia and charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history through Margaret F Harker's lens, we are reminded once again why preserving our cultural landmarks is so vital. It allows us to connect with our past while embracing our future—a testament to how tradition can coexist harmoniously with progress in one dynamic
