EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by John Bassett takes us back to the 1980s, capturing a moment in time at Coventry Canal Basin. The image showcases a row of early Victorian storage vaults that sadly faced demolition due to their derelict state. These industrial warehouses, once bustling with activity and serving as vital storage spaces, now stand as silent witnesses of the past. The photograph beautifully captures the melancholic atmosphere surrounding these decaying structures. The worn-out bricks tell stories of a bygone era when this waterway was teeming with life and commerce. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear echoes of boatmen's conversations and feel the hustle and bustle that once filled these halls. John Bassett's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and historical significance of these buildings. Despite their impending fate, there is an undeniable charm in their dilapidation - a testament to the passage of time. This print from Memory Lane Prints serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes at the cost of losing our heritage. It invites us to reflect on how cities evolve over time while urging us not to forget or overlook those remnants from our past that hold immense cultural value. In preserving this moment through his lens, John Bassett has immortalized Coventry Canal Basin's early Victorian storage vaults, ensuring they will forever be remembered even after they have vanished from sight.
