EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Middlesbrough Town Centre in 1971, during a pivotal moment in British history. The image captures a vibrant Common Market campaign, where passionate campaigners filled the streets with their voices and colorful banners advocating for Britain's entry into the European Economic Community (EEC), which later evolved into the European Union (EU). The photograph beautifully encapsulates the political fervor that gripped this northern English town during this era. Campaigners from all walks of life can be seen engaging with passersby, spreading awareness about the benefits of joining this economic alliance. Their determination is palpable as they passionately discuss trade opportunities, economic growth, and increased cooperation among member nations. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that politics was not just confined to parliamentary debates but also thrived within communities like Middlesbrough. This image serves as a powerful reminder of how ordinary citizens actively participated in shaping their nation's destiny. Decades may have passed since then, but this print remains an important historical artifact that sheds light on one chapter of Britain's relationship with Europe. It invites us to reflect upon our shared past while contemplating the present-day implications of such campaigns and decisions made by previous generations.
