EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a construction crew tirelessly working against the clock to complete the laying of a new twin track at Dairycoates. The urgency in their movements is palpable as they strive to meet their deadline. This monumental task will allow for the transfer from the overhead tracks, which can be seen in the background of this image. Once completed, this project will pave the way for progress and development. The 80-year-old overhead line that currently dominates the landscape will soon be demolished to make room for a new road flyover. The estimated cost of this transformation is an impressive £803,000. Captured on February 19th, 1962, this photograph takes us back to a significant era - the swinging sixties. It showcases not only skilled builders and engineers but also various pieces of machinery such as compressors and generators that were essential in carrying out such ambitious projects. Located in Humberside, Yorkshire, England, this construction site represents both industry and work at its finest. Every member of this dedicated team plays a crucial role in ensuring that transportation infrastructure keeps up with growing demands. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate these unsung heroes who labored diligently to shape our modern world while leaving behind an indelible mark on history's canvas.
