EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of childhood joy and carefree summer days. The image showcases the enchanting Fairy Dell Paddling Pool, nestled along Tower Esplanade in Skegness, Lincolnshire. As sunlight dances on the water's surface, a mesmerizing fountain creates an ethereal atmosphere that beckons both young and old to indulge in its refreshing embrace. The paddling pool stands as a testament to timeless innocence and simple pleasures. Children can be seen splashing about with unbridled enthusiasm, their laughter echoing through the air like music notes. Each splash sends ripples across the pool, creating a symphony of movement that mirrors their boundless energy. Historic England's Alun Bull has masterfully captured this moment in time, freezing it forever within this exquisite photograph. Through his lens, we are transported back to a bygone era when summers were spent exploring and embracing nature's wonders. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our hearts are filled with nostalgia for those cherished memories of our own youth - running barefoot through cool waters under sunny skies. This print serves as a poignant reminder that amidst life's complexities and challenges, there is always room for childlike wonderment and pure delight. In preserving this slice of history through photography, Alun Bull invites us all to reconnect with our inner child; reminding us that sometimes all it takes is a simple paddling pool to bring immense happiness into our lives once more.
