EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Albert Square in Manchester, England, is bathed in the soft glow of a late 1960s afternoon. The town square, located in the heart of the city, is a bustling hub of activity, with people going about their daily business and children playing in the open spaces. At the center of the square stands the magnificent Victorian-era Albert Memorial, a tribute to Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert. The ornate structure, with its intricate carvings and grand columns, is a testament to the architectural grandeur of the era. The square's lush, green lawns and meticulously trimmed hedges provide a picturesque backdrop for the historic monument. The surrounding buildings, a mix of old and new, add to the square's unique character. To the left, the imposing Town Hall, with its Gothic Revival architecture, looms large. Its clock tower, with its distinctive clock faces, is a landmark that has long been synonymous with Manchester. To the right, modern, Brutalist buildings, a hallmark of the 1960s architectural movement, can be seen rising up against the sky. The photograph captures the essence of Manchester in the late 1960s, a time of change and progress. The city was undergoing a period of transformation, with new buildings and modernization projects underway. Yet, despite the changes, the historic core of the city, represented by Albert Square, remained a cherished part of Manchester's rich cultural heritage. This photograph, taken in 1967, is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the world was on the cusp of significant social and political changes. It is a reminder of the enduring beauty and character of Manchester, a city that has long been a center of innovation, creativity, and resilience.
