EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1940s during World War II. In Edmonton, North London, a National Fire Service water tank has been ingeniously repurposed into a dockyard for model ships. The transformation of this utilitarian structure into a source of leisure and recreation is truly remarkable. As we gaze at the image, we see passersby stopping to admire the intricate craftsmanship of these miniature vessels. Amongst those who appreciate this unique sight are members of the Navy, drawn by their love for all things maritime. Warden Steel stands in front of the tank, carefully examining one of these little ships with great interest. The photograph was taken on July 7th, 1943 - a time when air raids and conflict were an unfortunate reality for many communities across Europe. Yet amidst the chaos and destruction brought about by war, moments like these remind us that humanity always finds ways to seek solace and joy even in the darkest times. This snapshot captures not only a piece of history but also showcases resilience and creativity in adversity. It serves as a testament to how individuals can transform objects associated with war into symbols of peace and imagination. McLellan's lens immortalizes this scene forever; reminding us that even amidst turmoil, there is always room for beauty and escapism in our lives.
