EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming town of Torquay in 1868, offering a glimpse into its rich history. The image showcases Torquay Road at Hollacombe, where the first gasworks buildings stood proudly amidst a picturesque landscape. As we observe this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that time has transformed both the road and its surroundings. The narrow road depicted here reminds us of an era when transportation was simpler and less congested. At the bottom of the hill lies a ford, serving as a crossing point for pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages alike. This quaint feature adds character to an already enchanting scene. The gasworks buildings themselves stand tall as symbols of progress during Victorian times. These structures were vital in providing lighting and heating for homes and businesses in Torquay, marking an important milestone in technological advancement. As we immerse ourselves in this historical photograph, our minds wander to bygone days filled with nostalgia. We can almost feel the sea breeze from England's beautiful south-west coast gently caressing our faces while imagining life as it once was over 150 years ago. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' meticulous preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness this remarkable moment frozen in time – a testament to Torquay's enduring legacy and its place within Devon's captivating history.
