EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Coventry in the 1960s. Standing proudly on Stoney Stanton Road is Pearson Second Hand shop, a local gem that served as a treasure trove for those seeking unique finds. The three-storey house exudes character with its charming architecture, showcasing the rich history of this vibrant city. However, amidst this snapshot of nostalgia lies an impending change. Number 21, located adjacent to Pearson Second Hand shop, must soon face demolition. This looming fate adds a touch of melancholy to the scene but also serves as a reminder of progress and urban development. In the background, towering high-rise flats dominate the skyline, symbolizing Coventry's growing population and evolving landscape during this era. These modern structures stand in stark contrast to the traditional charm embodied by Pearson Second Hand shop. The image captures not only buildings but also tells stories through clothing displayed outside nearby shops. It reflects the fashion trends prevalent at that time and offers glimpses into daily life in Hillfields. Wes Howard's skillful composition transports us back to October 25th, 1968—a moment frozen in time where old meets new and memories are etched forever within these walls.
