EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Historic England Archive showcases a slice of life in Chepstow, Wales during the 1960s. The image captures a block of Easiform flats, an architectural marvel developed by John Laing and Son Ltd in the early 20th century. These pre-cast concrete structures revolutionized construction methods, allowing for efficient and cost-effective building processes. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to a woman gracefully pushing a pram in the foreground. Her presence adds depth and humanity to the photograph, offering us a glimpse into family life during that era. As she navigates the streets of Chepstow with her little one, we can't help but wonder about their story - perhaps running errands or enjoying some fresh air on a sunny day. The fashion choices of both mother and child reflect the style trends prevalent at that time. The woman's attire exudes elegance and sophistication while still being practical for her daily routine. This snapshot encapsulates not only architectural history but also social history, shedding light on women's roles within society during this period. Through this remarkable print by A© Historic England Archive, we are transported back in time to witness everyday moments that make up our collective past – reminding us of how much has changed yet also how much remains timeless.
