EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the grandeur and history of The New Metropole, a former hotel nestled in the charming town of Folkestone, Kent. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2016, this stunning image showcases the architectural beauty and significance of this iconic landmark. Once a thriving hub for luxurious accommodation, The New Metropole stands as a testament to an era long gone. Its imposing structure dominates the landscape, evoking memories of glamorous parties and elegant soirées that once graced its halls. From above, we can appreciate the intricate details of its facade; every window pane tells a story while each balcony whispers secrets from times past. The print allows us to admire how time has weathered this majestic building gracefully. With its faded paint and worn features, it exudes an air of nostalgia that transports us back to a bygone era. Yet amidst its aged charm lies an undeniable allure that continues to captivate all who gaze upon it. Damian Grady's expert composition highlights not only the architectural splendor but also provides context within Folkestone's rich history. This photograph serves as both a visual delight and an important reminder of our heritage - reminding us to cherish these cultural treasures for generations to come. As we peer into this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that behind every historic structure lies stories waiting patiently to be discovered - tales woven into their very foundations which continue to shape our present-day landscapes.
