EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Newport in the 1960s. Towering above Dock Street, we are greeted by the magnificent Olympia Block, a true architectural gem of its time. This iconic structure is home to two prominent establishments - Marks and Spencer and the Chartist Tower Development. As our gaze travels up towards the sky-scraping heights of this building, we can't help but be awed by its grandeur. The Olympia Block stands as a testament to both modernity and progress during an era defined by change. The street below is alive with activity, capturing a snapshot of daily life in this vibrant city. A classic car parked on the side adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of an era when automobiles were still considered luxurious possessions. Intriguingly, amidst all these elements lies an unexpected detail - an advertisement for Ovaltine displayed on one of the buildings. This subtle inclusion serves as a reminder that even amidst urban development and commercialization, everyday products continue to play their part in shaping our lives. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this photograph allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in Newport's rich history. It captures not just architecture or commerce but also moments frozen forever; memories waiting patiently for us to explore and cherish once again.
