EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the picturesque town of Shrewsbury, in the heart of Shropshire, lies Quarry Park, a tranquil haven by the meandering River Severn. This enchanting scene captured in the late 1980s by acclaimed photographer Philip Dunn, depicts a mother and child leisurely cycling beneath the dappled shade of an avenue of summer trees. The path they follow is now a cherished part of National Cycle Route 81, inviting visitors to explore the town's natural beauty on two wheels. The 80s ambiance is palpable, with the mother dressed in a vibrant red blouse and denim shorts, her child donning a helmet and a matching red jacket. The sun-kissed leaves of the trees frame their silhouettes, creating a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The serene River Severn, with its gentle current, adds a calming backdrop to the idyllic tableau. Quarry Park, a popular local attraction, has been a beloved part of Shrewsbury's landscape for centuries. Its rich history, combined with its natural beauty, makes it an ideal destination for both residents and tourists. The inclusion of the cycle route has further enhanced its appeal, offering a unique and eco-friendly way to discover the town's hidden gems. This photograph, first published in The Sunday Times in 1988, encapsulates the essence of a simpler time, when the joys of nature and the pleasure of a family bike ride were cherished experiences. It serves as a reminder of the enduring charm of Shrewsbury and the simple pleasures that can be found along its scenic riverside.
