EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a defining moment in history, capturing the scene at a demolition site on Friar Street, near Newgate Street in Newcastle. It was January 6th, 1972 when this extraordinary discovery unfolded. As the derelict building stood ready for demolition, little did anyone know that danger lurked within its crumbling walls. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a group of people gathered around an astonished workman from G Blackett and Sons, one of the renowned demolition contractors of that era. Their expressions reveal a mix of shock and concern as they witness the unexpected find. The worker holds up a plastic bag containing no less than 36 sticks of gelignite alongside detonators. The significance of this discovery cannot be overstated. These explosives were remnants from an era long gone by - remnants that could have potentially caused great harm if mishandled or left undiscovered during the demolition process. This photograph serves as both a reminder and testament to the bravery and expertise required by those who worked tirelessly to transform our cities. It also offers us a glimpse into life in the 1970s when demolitions were common sights across urban landscapes undergoing redevelopment. As we reflect upon this image captured by NCJ, let it serve as a poignant reminder of how even amidst progress and change, hidden dangers can still emerge from forgotten corners of our past.
