EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Tilbury Riverside Station and its floating landing stage, now known as the London International Cruise Terminal. Completed in 1924, this historic station holds a significant place in British history. In 1948, it welcomed the iconic SS Empire Windrush, marking a momentous chapter in immigration and cultural diversity. Nestled along the picturesque riverbanks of Tilbury, Essex, this architectural gem has been meticulously preserved since its construction. Damian Grady's expert lens skillfully captures every intricate detail of this magnificent structure from above. The print showcases not only the grandeur of the railway station but also provides a glimpse into its surrounding natural splendor. The tranquil river flowing gracefully alongside adds an ethereal touch to this already mesmerizing scene. Since 1995, Tilbury Riverside Station has transformed itself into a hub for leisure cruises. It stands as a testament to adaptability and reinvention while still honoring its rich heritage. Damian Grady's photographic masterpiece serves as both an artistic tribute to this historical landmark and an invitation for viewers to delve into Britain's past through visual storytelling. As we admire his work, we are reminded that our built environment carries stories that connect us with our roots and shape our collective identity.
