EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling docks of Cardiff in 1955. The South Wales Echo photographer skillfully captures a moment at Neale and Wests Wharf, where two brave men, Percy Jerling and David Allen, navigate through a sea of ice within the hold of a fishing vessel. Their mission? To load countless baskets with thousands of fish. The image is frozen in time, showcasing the dedication and hard work required by these unsung heroes who toiled away in challenging conditions. As we peer into this snapshot from history, we can almost feel the biting cold that surrounded them as they meticulously carried out their task. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into the daily lives of those working on Cardiff's docks during the mid-20th century but also serves as a testament to their resilience and determination. It reminds us of an era when manual labor played an integral role in sustaining communities and driving economic growth. Preserved by Western Mail & Echo's archives, this picture offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared past while appreciating how far we have come since then. It serves as a reminder that behind every successful industry lies countless individuals whose efforts often go unnoticed but are nonetheless crucial for its functioning. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured through the lens of the South Wales Echo photographer, let us pay homage to all those who worked tirelessly under demanding circumstances like Percy Jerling and David Allen did on that fateful day in January 1955
