EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Salisbury EAW112528" transports us back to the picturesque city of Salisbury in Wiltshire during May 1963. The aerial perspective allows us to marvel at the grandeur of Salisbury Cathedral and its surrounding Cathedral Close. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the magnificent cathedral, with its towering spire reaching towards the heavens. Its intricate Gothic architecture stands as a testament to centuries of religious devotion and architectural brilliance. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the echoes of prayers whispered within its hallowed walls. Surrounding the cathedral is the tranquil Cathedral Close, an oasis amidst urban life. Lush green lawns dotted with ancient trees provide a serene setting for contemplation and reflection. It's easy to imagine residents strolling along these paths or finding solace on one of the many benches scattered throughout. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights how cities evolve over decades. While some aspects may have changed since 1963, this image reminds us that certain landmarks endure through generations, serving as anchors for both locals and visitors alike. Thanks to Historic England's Aerofilms Collection, we are granted a unique glimpse into history from above – an opportunity to appreciate our heritage from an entirely new perspective.
