EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1916, capturing the timeless elegance of Sandycroft in all its glory. Standing proudly on Old Town Lane in Formby, Freshfield, Sefton, Merseyside, this stunning detached house exudes a sense of grandeur that is hard to ignore. The front of Sandycroft is a sight to behold; its intricate architectural details and immaculate gardens are a testament to the craftsmanship and care that went into creating this magnificent residence. The photographer, Henry Bedford Lemere, skillfully captures every aspect of the house's facade with remarkable precision. It is worth noting that this photograph was taken for Sidney John Lister who resided at Sandycroft during this period. Mr. Lister himself was employed by none other than the prestigious Cunard Steamship Company - an interesting detail that adds another layer of historical significance to this image. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how time has treated Sandycroft. Its enduring beauty remains intact even after all these years, serving as a reminder of an era long gone yet still cherished. This print truly encapsulates the essence of early 20th-century architecture and offers us a glimpse into the past that will forever be etched in our memories.
