EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Trafalgar Square London Heatwave May 1980". Terry Dosell becomes the epitome of relaxation as he basks in the glorious sunshine. Alongside millions of other Britons, Terry finds solace in the scorching heat that engulfed London during that memorable heatwave. However, what sets him apart from others is his unique vantage point – atop Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, a staggering 172 feet above ground level. As Terry stretches out on Nelson's head and a ladder, he witnesses an extraordinary sight: the grand old man himself being meticulously cleaned for its bi-annual maintenance routine. This meticulous preparation ensures that Nelson stands tall and proud for the next wave of tourists and pigeons who flock to this iconic landmark. The photograph captures both danger and professionalism within one frame. It showcases Terry's daring occupation as a steeplejack, fearlessly navigating heights to maintain structures like Nelson's Column. The image transports us back to the vibrant era of the 1980s when hard work was celebrated amidst breathtaking cityscapes. This remarkable snapshot from Memory Lane Prints by Burton encapsulates not only an individual enjoying a rare moment of tranquility but also pays homage to those unsung heroes who ensure our architectural treasures remain intact. Let it serve as a reminder of both human resilience and our unbreakable bond with historical landmarks that shape our collective identity.
