EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in the history of Cronton village, Merseyside. In July 1978, confusion between the local Parish Council and Knowsley Borough Council resulted in a shocking incident that brought together the tight-knit community. The image showcases villagers standing united around a magnificent 150-year-old tree, determined to protect it from being axed by unaware workmen. The photograph tells a story of resilience and determination as angry residents rushed out to stop the destruction of their beloved natural treasure. Their swift action not only saved this majestic tree but also inspired them to mount a vigilant 24-hour guard, ensuring such an incident would never happen again. The picture reflects the strong bond within this close-knit community during the 1970s. It serves as a reminder of how people can come together for a common cause, transcending bureaucratic confusion and defending what they hold dear - nature's beauty. Geoff Roberts' lens beautifully captures both the strength of human spirit and the timeless grandeur of nature. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also an important historical document showcasing how ordinary individuals can make extraordinary efforts to protect their environment against all odds.
