EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Ludlow in the 1960s. The image showcases a picturesque scene on Broad Street, with its charming mix of architectural styles and bustling atmosphere. Standing tall amidst this historic backdrop are the iconic Doric columns of The Butter Cross, serving as a meeting point for four young individuals. The rear view perspective allows us to observe these youths as they engage in conversation, their faces filled with youthful exuberance. It is evident that they have chosen this spot intentionally, seeking solace between these ancient columns while enjoying the breathtaking vista ahead. As we follow their gaze down Broad Street, we are transported into an era where timber-framed buildings and jettied structures dominate the landscape. Every element within this photograph tells a story - from the intricately carved column details to the quaint shops lining both sides of the street. A vintage car parked nearby adds an extra touch of nostalgia to this already enchanting scene. John Gay's masterful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes feelings of nostalgia and curiosity about life during those years gone by. This print serves as a window into Ludlow's rich history and invites viewers to immerse themselves in its timeless charm once more.
