EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, specifically to the historic Bassetts Pole at the crossroads of the A446 and A453 in Staffordshire, England. Standing tall amidst its surroundings is a signpost that holds great significance. Erected on the 19th of June in 1935 by the esteemed Bassett family, owners of the renowned Drayton Estate, this signpost served as a boundary marker with the estates of their neighbors - the Grazebrooks. Transporting us to an era where road signs were simpler yet equally vital, this image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights how our landscapes have evolved over decades. The signpost proudly displays clear directions for weary travelers navigating through West Midlands. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it reminds us of an era when attention to detail was paramount. The craftsmanship involved in creating such sturdy and informative signposts is truly remarkable. Memory Lane Prints presents this stunning piece as a testament to our shared heritage and love for nostalgia.
