EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an extraordinary perspective of the Widnes-Runcorn Bridge, showcasing its near-completion status. Taken on the 8th of June in 1961 by McEvoy, this image offers a unique vantage point that reveals how the approach road majestically soars above rows of charming terraced houses in Widnes. The juxtaposition between the towering bridge and the humble homes below creates a striking contrast, highlighting both human ingenuity and harmonious coexistence. Notably, on the right side of this remarkable scene stands a railway crossing, serving as a reminder of the vital role transportation plays in connecting communities. The presence of trains adds an element of movement and dynamism to this snapshot frozen in time. As we delve into this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, it transports us back to an era when construction projects like bridges were celebrated as symbols of progress and modernity. It serves as a testament to human ambition and engineering prowess during the mid-20th century. The black-and-white aesthetic further enhances our appreciation for this historical moment captured by McEvoy's lens. This print is not just about infrastructure; it encapsulates stories of home, travel, and daily life unfolding beneath these monumental structures.
