EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1987, captures a moment of tranquility and innocence amidst the industrial backdrop of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Three young girls, dressed in bright coats and boots, gather around a serene pond filled with crystal-clear water. In the foreground, they tenderly feed a majestic white swan, its graceful neck reaching out for a piece of bread. The scene is framed by the unique skyline of Stoke-on-Trent, with its distinctive bottle ovens and towering factory chimneys. The Potteries, as the area is known, has a rich history of ceramics production, and the remnants of its industrial past are evident in this image. The contrast between the natural beauty of the swans and the man-made structures creates a striking juxtaposition. Despite the presence of the factories and chimneys, the girls seem oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the working world around them. Their youthful energy and focus on the simple pleasure of feeding the swans adds a sense of hope and optimism to the image. The sky, dotted with clouds, completes the picture, providing a sense of calm and serenity. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the coexistence of industry and nature, and the importance of cherishing moments of beauty and joy in our daily lives. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the essence of Stoke-on-Trent and its unique character.
