EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the evolution of a bustling street in Berkshire during the swinging sixties. This print by CLE takes us back to an era where progress and transformation were shaping the urban landscape. In this snapshot, we witness Greyfriars Road undergoing significant changes as demolition work is underway. The remnants of what was once a vibrant pub, known as the White Lion, now lay scattered amidst piles of rubble. It's a poignant reminder that even cherished landmarks can succumb to the passage of time. The street scene exudes an air of nostalgia and curiosity; pedestrians pause to observe this metamorphosis while others continue on their way through this evolving cityscape. The image encapsulates both loss and anticipation for what lies ahead. As we delve into this visual time capsule from January 1967, it serves as a testament to Reading's ever-changing nature. It prompts us to reflect on how our surroundings shape our memories and reminds us that progress often comes at the cost of cherished structures. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to immerse ourselves in history – not just capturing bricks and mortar but also preserving moments that shaped communities. It invites viewers to ponder upon their own connection with places they hold dear and appreciate how every change leaves an indelible mark on our collective memory.
