EDITORS COMMENTS
Dominating the Kirkby skyline, this print captures the grandeur of the new artificial ski slope in Bewley Road on a crisp Friday morning, April 5th, 1974. Nestled within the borough of Knowsley in Merseyside, England, this remarkable structure stood as a testament to human ingenuity and outdoor leisure activities. As cars gracefully lined up along Cortina Street below, their presence added an intriguing juxtaposition against the towering slope. Amongst them was a classic Ford Cortina from that era – an iconic symbol of British motoring history. The image beautifully encapsulates a moment frozen in time during the vibrant 1970s. The sheer scale and ambition of this architectural marvel is awe-inspiring. Rising above all else in Kirkby's landscape, it beckoned adventure seekers and skiing enthusiasts alike to conquer its slopes. With its artificial surface designed for winter sports enthusiasts who yearned for thrilling downhill experiences even outside snowy seasons, it brought joy and excitement to locals and visitors alike. This photograph by Wright perfectly captures not only the physical dominance but also the spirit of determination that defined Kirkby during those times. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of how communities embraced outdoor sports like skiing amidst changing times. Let this stunning print transport you back to an era when motorcars ruled the roads and ambitious structures like this ski slope reigned supreme over townscape horizons.
