EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1960s as we witness a significant moment in history. The image captures Earl Grey's iconic monument, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of Newcastle's bustling streets. However, what truly steals our attention is the presence of two skilled scaffolders who have been entrusted with the important task of preparing for the cleaning of this magnificent structure. Looking over Earl Grey's shoulder, we see Tommy Walker from Kirk Street, Byker and Sidney Watson from Noel Avenue, Winlaton Mill, Blaydon diligently working together to erect scaffolding around the monument. Their expertise and precision shine through their actions as they carefully navigate their way up towards greatness. The photograph not only showcases these remarkable individuals but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication. It reminds us that behind every grand architectural masterpiece lies a team of unsung heroes who work tirelessly to ensure its preservation. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of admiration for these brave men who fearlessly tackle heights while donning their caps and hats. Their commitment to their craft is palpable even through black-and-white imagery. This print allows us to reflect on both our past achievements and those yet to come. It stands as a reminder that monuments like Earl Grey will forever be preserved thanks to the unwavering efforts of individuals like Tommy Walker and Sidney Watson – true guardians of history.
