EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 1950s, capturing the essence of Langley Maltings in all its industrial glory. Situated on Western Road in Langley, West Midlands, this historic building dates back to the 1880s and stands as a testament to the region's rich industrial heritage. The photograph showcases Langley Maltings' strategic location with its excellent transport links. Adjacent to both the railway and the Birmingham Canal, it served as a vital hub for transporting goods during that era. The distinctive square pyramidal roofs of the drying kilns dominate the skyline, adding an architectural charm to this imposing structure. Notably absent from this image is a neighboring brewery that has since been demolished, further emphasizing how industries have evolved over time. Eric de Mare skillfully captures every detail of this scene with his keen eye for composition and lighting. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time; imagining bustling workers going about their daily tasks within these walls. It serves as a reminder of our collective history and encourages us to appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
