EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Derek Kendall transports us back to the nostalgic charm of Bexhill-on-Sea in Sussex. The Bandstand, a true architectural gem, stands proudly against the backdrop of a serene seafront. Its elegant structure and intricate details evoke memories of an era when bandstands were at the heart of seaside leisure. Looking through the bandstand towards a seafront shelter, this image captures a moment frozen in time. The viewer is invited to step into this scene and imagine themselves surrounded by the sounds of live music drifting on gentle ocean breezes. It's as if we can almost hear the joyful melodies that once filled these hallowed grounds. The De La Warr Pavilion, with its iconic design, adds another layer of visual interest to this composition. This modernist masterpiece harmoniously coexists with its traditional surroundings, creating an intriguing contrast between old and new. Kendall's skilled photography allows us to appreciate every detail – from the weathered woodwork on the bandstand to the tranquil expanse of sea stretching out before our eyes. Through his lens, he captures not only a physical place but also an intangible sense of nostalgia and longing for simpler times spent by the shore. This print serves as both a historical record and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in Bexhill-on-Sea's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even amidst rapid change, there are timeless landmarks that continue to hold significance in our collective memory.
