EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sunderland's rich history and architectural heritage. The focal point is a remarkable sculpture, an intricately carved elephant nestled within a niche at the Elephant Tea Rooms on Fawcett Street. Standing tall and proud, this majestic creature seems to exude an air of wisdom and serenity. The craftsmanship displayed in this sculpture is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail, from the texture of its skin to the gentle curve of its trunk, has been meticulously carved by skilled hands. The artist, Bob Skingle, has managed to breathe life into stone with his exceptional talent. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when tea rooms were bustling social hubs for conversation and relaxation. The Elephant Tea Rooms itself stands as a testament to Sunderland's vibrant past – a place where people gathered over steaming cups of tea amidst elegant surroundings. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to preserve our cultural landmarks. Historic England recognizes the significance of such sites in shaping our collective identity and understanding of the past. In conclusion, Bob Skingle's photograph not only captures a stunning piece of art but also invites us to reflect on our connection with history and appreciate the beauty that lies within it.
