EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to November 1953, capturing a significant moment in the history of Brunswick Square, Torquay. The image showcases the installation of brand new traffic lights, symbolizing progress and modernization in this bustling town. In the foreground, we see a row of charming shops lining the street. These establishments were witnesses to daily life and served as gathering places for locals during that era. Among them stands a prominent billboard proudly displaying an advertisement for Nescafe, reminding passersby of their favorite coffee brand. Adding to the nostalgic charm are several Vauxhall cars parked along the curb. These classic vehicles were not only modes of transportation but also symbols of status and prosperity during those times. Their presence further emphasizes the changing landscape as technology advanced rapidly. The photograph also offers a glimpse into law enforcement practices at that time with two constables performing point duties on either side of the road. Dressed in traditional police uniforms, they ensured smooth traffic flow while maintaining order and safety within their community. As we delve into this snapshot from yesteryears, it reminds us how much our surroundings have evolved over time while evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler days gone by. This memory captured by Mirrorpix transports us back to an iconic period in British history - a testament to our ever-changing world.
