EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic demolition of the old Shoreham Paper Mill on 10th February 1936. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham, this image transports us back to a significant moment in European history - the interwar period of the twentieth century. The scene is filled with chaos as workmen tirelessly dismantle the once majestic water mill. The exterior of the building now reduced to debris, rubble, and rubbish. It's a poignant reminder of how time can erode even the most solid structures. Topham's monochrome composition adds an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from the thirties. The stark contrast between light and shadow highlights both the destruction taking place and hints at new beginnings that lie ahead. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of physical demolitions but also metaphorical ones - how progress often requires letting go of what no longer serves us. This image invites contemplation on themes such as change, renewal, and resilience. While it may be tempting to focus solely on commercial use or historical context surrounding Shoreham Paper Mill itself, let us instead appreciate Topham's skillful capture that transcends any specific company or purpose. Through his lens, he immortalizes a fleeting moment in time for all generations to reflect upon and draw inspiration from.
