EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mark Macklow is third generation cobbler at his grandfather's shop in Gateshead" we are transported back to the nostalgic world of craftsmanship and tradition. The image showcases Mark Macklow, a skilled cobbler, diligently working amidst an array of leather, tools, and machinery that fill the workshop. As the third generation to carry on his family's legacy, Mark stands proudly in his role as he meticulously tends to each shoe with care and precision. His hands tell a story of expertise acquired through years of practice and dedication. The worn-out workbench bears witness to countless hours spent perfecting his craft. The atmosphere exudes a sense of timelessness; it could easily be mistaken for a scene from decades past. Yet, this snapshot was taken in the 1990s when occupations like cobbling were slowly fading away due to modernization and mass production. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we are reminded not only of the artistry involved in cobbling but also of the importance of preserving our heritage. This photograph serves as a poignant tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to traditional trades while highlighting how these skills continue shaping our cultural landscape. With every stitch sewn by hand and every sole carefully repaired, Mark Macklow carries forward not just his family's legacy but also an entire history woven into each pair of shoes he lovingly restores.
