EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of history and nostalgia within the disused hangar DP275584 at Old Sarum Airfield in Laverstock, Wiltshire. As we delve into the interior view of the south-east hangar, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent Belfast roof trusses that gracefully span above an old car in the foreground. The juxtaposition of air and road transport symbolizes a transition from past to present, reminding us of the significant role this airfield played during World War I. The vintage charm exuded by both elements evokes a sense of longing for simpler times. Photographer James O Davies skillfully captured this image by ingeniously inserting his camera through an aperture in a door. This technique allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while maintaining an intimate connection with this abandoned space. The retro blue hue that permeates throughout adds a touch of melancholy, emphasizing how time has weathered these once-bustling walls. It serves as a reminder that even structures can hold memories and stories waiting to be discovered. Through this photograph, Historic England invites viewers on a journey back in time, encouraging contemplation about our ever-changing world and preserving remnants from our collective pasts.
