EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Laying Foundation Stone, Chelston Church, Torquay," is a beautiful snapshot of history, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us back in time to an Edwardian or Victorian era, as evidenced by the elegant attire of the individuals present and the use of a lantern slide. The scene unfolds at the construction site of the Chelston Church in Torquay, Devon, England. The foundation stone lies at the center of the image, surrounded by a group of well-dressed men and women. The stone, adorned with intricate carvings and a cross, symbolizes the beginning of the church's construction. The men are dressed in suits and top hats, while the women wear long, flowing dresses and bonnets, adding to the historical charm of the photograph. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement, as the group gathers around the foundation stone, ready for the ceremony to begin. The lantern slide, which would have been used to project this image onto a screen during a lecture or presentation, adds to the nostalgic feel of the photograph. The Chelston Church, which was built between 1899 and 1901, stands as a testament to the rich architectural and historical heritage of Torquay. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness the laying of its foundation stone and the excitement of the community as they came together to build their place of worship.
