EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the demolition of St Peters Church, Oxford Street, Newcastle. Dated 27th August 1936, this image captures the solemnity and gravity surrounding the unfortunate event. Once a symbol of religious devotion and architectural grandeur, St Peters Church stood tall on Oxford Street for many years. However, due to subsidence issues plaguing its foundation, it became necessary to bring down this historic structure. The photograph showcases the church in its final moments before being reduced to rubble. The scene is filled with an air of nostalgia as we witness the end of an era. The intricate details of the church's facade are still visible despite signs of decay and wear over time. It serves as a reminder that even buildings steeped in history are not immune to nature's forces. As we gaze upon this poignant image, our minds wander through time - imagining all those who once gathered within these walls for worship or sought solace amidst their daily struggles. We can almost hear echoes of prayers whispered into silence. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to reflect on how fleeting human creations can be when faced with inevitable change. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty and impermanence found within our built environment while reminding us that memories endure long after physical structures have vanished into dust.
