EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history, showcasing the Rifle Range Target Wall at Burton Meadows in all its glory. Located on Meadow Road, Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, this remarkable structure stands as a testament to the First World War era and the resilience of those on the home front. Built around 1914, it served as a vital training ground for soldiers preparing for battle. From a south-west perspective, Anna Bridson skillfully frames this image to highlight every detail of this significant landmark. The weathered bricks tell tales of countless rounds fired during target practice sessions that once echoed through these grounds. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where determination and sacrifice were paramount. The inclusion of Historic England's list entry number (1422606) further emphasizes the historical significance attached to this site. It serves as a reminder that our past should be cherished and preserved for future generations. Anna Bridson's photographic prowess shines through in capturing not only a physical structure but also an intangible sense of patriotism and unity that prevailed during such trying times. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a poignant reminder of our collective history and the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Let us reflect upon this powerful image with gratitude for those who stood strong on their home front during WW1 while appreciating Anna Bridson's ability to encapsulate such profound emotions within her work.
