EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning aerial photograph, EPW038882 from the Historic England Archive, captures the bustling maritime scene at Preston Docks and the city from a unique north-west perspective in July 1932. Taken by Aerofilms Ltd, this image offers a bird's-eye view of the intricate network of canals, docks, and ships that once formed the heart of Preston's industrial economy. The River Ribble, meandering through the frame, divides the city from the docks, with the former showing a grid of red-roofed buildings and a sprawling expanse of green spaces. The docks, on the other hand, teem with activity. Ships of various sizes and shapes are moored at the quaysides, their masts and rigging creating a mosaic of geometric shapes against the blue-grey waters. Cranes and other industrial machinery stand tall, ready to load and unload cargo, while the narrow canals crisscross the area, connecting the docks to the wider waterway network. The image also reveals the rich textures and tones of the urban landscape. The red-brown brick buildings, the grey-blue waters, and the green canopies of trees and parks create a harmonious blend of colours and shapes. The intricate patterns of the streets and the geometric layout of the docks add depth and complexity to the scene, making this photograph a visual feast for the eyes. This photograph is a testament to the vibrant maritime history of Preston and the crucial role it played in the economic development of the city. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the docks were teeming with activity and the city was a bustling hub of industry.
