EDITORS COMMENTS
The last chapter in the three-year-old saga of Coventry Cathedral's new flying Cross. A momentous occasion captured in this print from Memory Lane Prints, taken on 22nd May 1970. The image showcases a steeplejack carefully slotting the spindle into the top of the fleche, marking a significant milestone in the construction of St. Michael's Cathedral in Coventry. This snapshot transports us back to an era when craftsmanship and dedication were at their peak. The intricate scaffolding surrounding the cathedral serves as a testament to the immense effort put forth by countless workers who labored tirelessly to bring this architectural marvel to life. The photograph not only captures a pivotal moment but also encapsulates the spirit of resilience and determination that defined Coventry during its post-war reconstruction period. It symbolizes hope, renewal, and faith rising from ashes. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of how artistry can transcend time and connect generations. This image invites us to reflect on our own journeys – both personal and collective – as we navigate through challenges towards brighter horizons. Memory Lane Prints has beautifully preserved this slice of history for all to appreciate, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone but never forgotten.
