In this print titled "A road crossing patrol man assists people across Shields Road in Byker in 1969" we are transported back to a bustling street scene of the 1960s. The image captures an essential figure of road safety, commonly known as the 'lollipop man, ' diligently guiding pedestrians through the busy intersection. The black and white composition beautifully encapsulates a moment frozen in time, showcasing the dedication and care exhibited by this unsung hero. Standing tall with his iconic lollipop sign held high, he ensures that individuals safely navigate their way across Shields Road. As we delve into this nostalgic snapshot, it becomes evident that road safety has always been paramount. This photograph serves as a reminder of how communities have long relied on these vigilant guardians to protect them from potential harm on their daily journeys. The authenticity of the scene is palpable; vintage cars line the streets while men and women donning fashion trends of yesteryears eagerly await their turn to cross. It's a testament to an era where human connection was cherished even amidst chaotic city life.
