EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the majestic Sandgate Castle, a remarkable blend of Tudor artillery castle and Martello tower, standing proudly on the coast of Folkestone, Kent. Damian Grady's expert lens has perfectly framed this historic masterpiece against the backdrop of a serene coastal landscape. Built to defend England's shores from potential invaders, Sandgate Castle stands as a testament to centuries of coastal defense strategies. Its sturdy walls and imposing structure evoke images of bygone eras when cannons boomed and soldiers stood guard against maritime threats. The juxtaposition between the ancient castle and its surrounding natural beauty is striking. The rugged coastline stretches out into the distance, with waves crashing against jagged cliffs below. This image serves as a reminder that history can coexist harmoniously with nature; it is an exquisite example of man-made architecture blending seamlessly into its environment. Damian Grady's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this architectural gem. From its battlements to its fortified towers, each element tells a story steeped in rich historical significance. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England, we are transported back in time - imagining what life must have been like within these walls during times of conflict or peace. It serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and an invitation to explore our nation's fascinating past through tangible remnants such as Sandgate Castle.
