EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant era of the 1960s, specifically to Bootle in Merseyside. The focal point of this image is a towering 22-storey block that commands attention with its impressive stature. At ground level, we can see bustling shops that bring life and activity to the area, while above them are modern flats that offer a glimpse into urban living during this time. The scene is one of constant progress and development, as evidenced by the surrounding building work taking place in the New Strand shopping centre. Cranes dotting the skyline symbolize growth and transformation, as they tirelessly lift materials to construct new structures. This photograph captures an important moment in history when regeneration was at its peak. Ian Kelso's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural significance of these buildings but also their impact on society. The high-rise nature of this block signifies a shift towards vertical living spaces, accommodating more residents within limited space. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how cities evolve over decades through construction and renewal projects like those seen here. It sparks curiosity about what lies beyond these walls – what stories do these buildings hold? What memories were made within their confines? Ian Kelso's print invites us to ponder these questions while appreciating the beauty found amidst ongoing progress.
