EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Brian Randle in 1971, we are transported back to a time when the clash between tradition and progress was vividly evident. As a group of youngsters make their way to Sunday school in Great Bridge, West Midlands, they must pass through the ancient graveyard of St Peters Church. The juxtaposition is striking - on one side stands the solemnity of history, with weathered gravestones and an atmosphere steeped in reverence. On the other side looms an up-to-date gas production plant, its towering structures dominating the skyline. The clash between these two worlds could not be more apparent. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how industry and pollution have encroached upon our landscapes over time. It symbolizes both the resilience of tradition and the relentless march of progress that defines our modern world. As we gaze at this photograph from decades past, we cannot help but ponder on how these young children navigate their way through such contrasting surroundings each week. Their innocent faces reflect curiosity mixed with awe as they traverse this strange landscape on their journey towards spiritual enlightenment. Brian Randle's skillful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also invites us to contemplate the delicate balance between preserving our heritage while embracing technological advancements that shape our future.
