EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a scorching summer day in June 1960, where the bustling traffic at Staines Bridge tells a story of holidaymakers returning from the coast. Located in the picturesque town of Staines-upon-Thames, Surrey, this iconic bridge served as a gateway for countless vacationers seeking respite from their daily routines. The image captures an era when Austin cars dominated the roads and motor travel was becoming increasingly popular. The scene is filled with vibrant energy as vehicles jostle for space on the busy road, creating a jam that seems never-ending. Amidst this chaos stands a diligent policeman, skillfully directing traffic to maintain order and ensure everyone's safety. In the foreground lies The Ship Inn, its doors open wide to welcome weary travelers seeking refreshment after long journeys. This charming public house serves as a reminder of how important pit stops were during those days before modern rest areas dotted our highways. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the heat radiating off the pavement and hear snippets of conversations carried by warm summer breezes. It transports us back to an era when holidays were cherished escapes from everyday life and road trips held endless possibilities. This remarkable photograph encapsulates not just a moment but an entire season - one filled with excitement, adventure, and memories waiting to be made.
