EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Cowgate, Newcastle in 1953. The lens captures a mesmerizing worms eye view of two fearless steeplejacks embarking on their daring ascent towards a birds eye perspective. These men possess an extraordinary head for heights as they scale the towering chimney that looms above the brickworks. The purpose behind this audacious feat becomes apparent upon closer inspection - a crack has ominously appeared at the pinnacle of the chimney, necessitating urgent repairs. With unwavering determination, these skilled workers are replacing sections of brickwork to ensure the safety and stability of this imposing structure. The image serves as a testament to both the bravery and expertise required in such perilous occupations during that era. Clad in their rugged work attire, these anonymous heroes fearlessly navigate ladders and scaffolding with precision and grace. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but wonder about their untold stories - who were these men? What challenges did they face daily? This photograph not only offers a glimpse into UK social history but also highlights important aspects like health and safety practices prevalent during those times. Preserved by NCJ-Kemsley's Memory Lane Prints collection, this remarkable piece invites us to reflect on our industrial past while appreciating how far we have come in terms of workplace safety regulations.
