EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the Gun Quarter in Birmingham on November 7,1958. The image showcases a remarkable sight - thousands of SMLE rifles neatly arranged at the Small Heath armoury of Parker Hall. Standing proudly beside this impressive display is Mr Kenneth Lissemore, an experienced and skilled armourer. The photograph captures a significant moment in history when Birmingham was renowned for its arsenal, engineering prowess, and thriving firearms industry. The city's factories were bustling with activity as they produced munitions and rifles that would go on to shape the world of shooting. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, it becomes evident that this image represents more than just a collection of guns; it symbolizes the dedication and craftsmanship embedded within these industries. It serves as a testament to the hardworking individuals who contributed their skills towards creating weapons that played vital roles in various historical events. It is important to note that while this photo highlights an era dominated by gun manufacturing, it does not mention any specific company or commercial use. Instead, it invites us to appreciate the artistry behind these instruments of war and reflects upon how such industries shaped communities like Birmingham during the 1950s. Mirrorpix has expertly preserved this piece of history through their prints, allowing us to step back in time and witness firsthand one aspect of Birmingham's rich industrial heritage.
