EDITORS COMMENTS

This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the scorching summer of 1976 in Chew Magna, Somerset. The image captures a haunting scene as the once mighty Chew Magna Reservoir dwindles down to a mere trickle during one of the most severe droughts in British history. The photograph transports us to an era where water shortages plagued the nation, leaving reservoirs across the United Kingdom alarmingly depleted. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the relentless heatwave that gripped England's south-west region and its devastating impact on local communities. In this visual flashback, nature's resilience is juxtaposed against man-made structures as cracks appear on parched riverbeds and boats lay stranded amidst dry land. The severity of this environmental crisis becomes strikingly evident through Mirrorpix's lens. Beyond its historical significance, this image serves as a reminder of our planet's vulnerability and our responsibility towards it. It prompts reflection on how climate change continues to pose threats today and urges us to take action for a sustainable future. Memory Lane Prints has masterfully preserved this moment from four decades ago, allowing us to revisit an unforgettable chapter in British weather history.
