EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the Gowshall Signs exhibition held in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, in 1964. The artist behind this remarkable image is Michael Walters, whose lens skillfully portrays the essence of this event. Gowshall Signs, known for manufacturing the iconic road signs that grace the UK's highways, showcased their expertise at this exhibition. However, it was their electrical division that stole the limelight with their illuminated bollards - a common sight on roads throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The monochrome composition transports us back to an era when road safety and signage were paramount concerns. It serves as a testament to British industry and innovation during those times. The display stand featured prominently in the photo stands as a symbol of progress and modernity. Walters' photography beautifully encapsulates both nostalgia and functionality within one frame. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the technical aspects of these illuminated bollards but also their significance in ensuring road safety across the country. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how far our society has come while appreciating how these simple yet essential elements played a vital role in shaping our nation's infrastructure. This photograph is undoubtedly an invaluable piece of heritage that continues to captivate viewers today.
