EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of Stanley Mill, Ryeford. Built in 1812-3, this fireproof woollen mill stands as a testament to the industrial revolution that transformed Gloucestershire. The interior view captured by Eric de Mare in 1956 showcases the remarkable ornate cast iron columns adorning the south range of this historic structure. The photograph highlights the exquisite craftsmanship of Georgian design, with its intricate ironwork and imposing pillars. These architectural elements not only served a functional purpose but also added an air of elegance to the factory's interior. It is fascinating to imagine workers bustling around these columns, their presence lending an aura of strength and stability amidst the ceaseless hum of machinery. Eric de Mare's skilled photography transports us into a world where industry thrived and innovation flourished. Through his lens, we can almost hear the rhythmic clatter of looms and feel the heat emanating from roaring furnaces. This image serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage, paying homage to those who labored within these walls. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate both the beauty found within these walls and acknowledge how far we have come since then. Stanley Mill stands tall as a symbol not only for its historical significance but also for its enduring legacy as a monument to human ingenuity
