EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling moment in history at Stockton Baths on the 14th of November, 1989. Swimmers were granted a fortunate escape after an unexpected disaster struck this beloved swimming facility. The roof collapsed with a thunderous crash, sending shockwaves through the entire community. The calamity was triggered by a burst water pipe that saturated the lagging material, causing it to become waterlogged and ultimately crashing through the ceiling. As if orchestrated by fate itself, plaster rained down onto the poolside between the children's pool and the main swimming area. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only destruction but also resilience. It serves as a reminder of our vulnerability amidst man-made structures and nature's forces alike. Despite this harrowing incident, it is heartening to know that all swimmers managed to escape unharmed. Teesside Archive has expertly preserved this image from their collection titled "Stockton Baths, Stockton". Through Memory Lane Prints' dedication to capturing historical moments like these, we are given an opportunity to reflect upon past events that have shaped our communities. Let us cherish this photograph as more than just an image; let it be a testament to human strength and remind us of how precious life truly is when faced with unforeseen circumstances.
