EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1980s, capturing a slice of life in the Earlsdon district of Coventry. The focal point of this image is the roundabout at the junction of Earlsdon Street and Albany Road, where an iconic four-face clock once stood proudly. However, as we learn from the caption, time has taken its toll on this beloved landmark. City engineers have deemed it beyond repair, leaving residents with a sense of loss and nostalgia. Determined not to let their cherished symbol fade into oblivion, people living in Earlsdon are rallying together to raise £1000 for a new clock. The photograph showcases more than just a clock; it offers us a glimpse into daily life during that era. We see bustling streets filled with shops and shoppers going about their business. The architecture reflects the charm and character unique to Coventry's history. Transportation plays its part too - cars pass by on the road surrounding the roundabout while pedestrians navigate their way through this vibrant scene. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel connected to those who came before us - individuals who cared deeply about preserving their community's identity and heritage. This print serves as a reminder that even small gestures can make a big difference when it comes to preserving our shared history.
