EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 17th century with this print of Caerphilly Castle, a medieval fortress nestled in the picturesque town of Caerphilly, South Wales. Taken on the 21st of June, 1962, this image captures a momentous occasion - the restoration of the castle's moat to its former glory after an astounding three centuries. The completion of the latest stage in the castle water defense restoration scheme is commemorated by Richard Thomson, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works. In a symbolic act that transports us back in time, he turns a water valve and brings life back into these historic walls. As you gaze at this photograph, you can almost feel yourself transported through history. The castle stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery and clear blue skies. Its imposing stone walls are reflected perfectly in the restored moat below - an impressive feat that revives its long-lost appearance from centuries ago. This snapshot not only captures architectural beauty but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication towards preserving our rich heritage. It reminds us that even after hundreds of years, we have the power to restore and revive what was once lost. Displaying this remarkable piece will transport any viewer straight into medieval times while serving as a reminder that our past should never be forgotten.
