EDITORS COMMENTS
"Severn Ferry - Cars queue up for the ferry with the recently completed bridge towering above - Police were guarding the area following the threat that the bridge would be blown up by the Free Wales Army - 6th June 1966". This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image captures a scene of anticipation and tension as cars patiently line up, waiting to board the Severn Ferry. Towering above them is the newly constructed bridge, an impressive feat of engineering that symbolizes progress and connectivity. However, this otherwise peaceful scene is marred by a sense of unease. Policemen can be seen standing guard, their presence necessary due to threats made by the Free Wales Army to blow up this very bridge. Their mission was one fueled by political unrest and separatist aspirations. The date etched on this photograph – 6th June 1966 – serves as a reminder of how fragile peace can be during times of social upheaval. It encapsulates an era when tensions ran high, highlighting both our resilience in overcoming adversity and our collective desire for unity. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since then. This powerful image not only documents a specific event but also invites us to contemplate broader themes such as progress, security, and societal change.
