EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Mortlake, London on a summer day in 1975. The image showcases the impressive exterior view of Watneys Brewery, an iconic landmark that stood as a testament to the city's rich beer industry. Standing tall and proud, this architectural marvel exudes a sense of modernism with its sleek lines and contemporary design. The brewery's grandeur is beautifully captured by photographer Allan Olley, who skillfully portrays its imposing presence against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the magnificent structure itself, emphasizing its significance within the community. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era when breweries were at their peak in popularity. This photograph not only serves as a visual reminder of Mortlake's industrial past but also evokes memories associated with food and drink - particularly beer - which played an integral role in shaping social gatherings during that time. With every detail meticulously preserved through Olley's lens, this print becomes more than just a piece of art; it becomes a window into our collective memory. It invites us to reflect on how architecture can tell stories about our culture and heritage while reminding us of simpler times when local industries thrived and left lasting imprints on our cities' landscapes.
