EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the interior of St Michaels Cathedral in Coventry, circa 1936. A glimpse into the past before the devastating Coventry Blitz of November 14th, 1940 transformed this magnificent cathedral into ruins. The image showcases the grandeur and serenity that once filled these sacred walls. Built between the late 14th and early 15th centuries, St Michaels Cathedral stood as a testament to faith and architectural brilliance. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to the stunning stained glass windows that adorned the cathedral's interior. These vibrant works of art illuminated the space with an ethereal glow, casting colorful patterns across pews and altar alike. It is important to note that this photograph was taken prior to any commercial use or association with a company. Instead, it serves as a reminder of how religion played a significant role in shaping communities during this era. Today, alongside these remnants of St Michaels Cathedral stands its successor - The new Coventry Cathedral designed by Sir Basil Spence. This juxtaposition between old and new symbolizes resilience and rebirth amidst destruction. Through Memory Lane Prints' careful preservation of this historical moment, we can reflect on both the beauty lost within those crumbling walls and celebrate how Coventry has risen from its ashes with renewed hope for future generations.
