EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Terry Buchanan takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Newport, Isle of Wight, in the 1970s. The image captures a slice of history frozen in time, showcasing the front elevations of numbers 87-90 High Street. These Georgian-style houses stand proudly amidst a vibrant street scene that exudes character and charm. The once-thriving shops lining this historic high street tell stories of their own. Though now derelict, they were once filled with life and activity as locals went about their daily routines. The faded signage on these buildings hints at the businesses that once thrived within their walls, leaving us to wonder about the memories made within those very spaces. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from yesteryears, our attention is drawn to the vintage cars parked along the roadside. Each vehicle adds its unique touch to this nostalgic tableau - a reminder of an era when automobiles had distinct personalities and designs. Terry Buchanan's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also the social fabric woven into every brick and cobblestone captured in this photograph. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though times change and progress marches forward, there will always be value in preserving our past for future generations to cherish and learn from.
