EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the wintry city skyline serves as a dramatic backdrop for a team of fearless steeplejacks. These brave individuals are spotlighted against the darkened sky, their silhouettes creating an aura of mystery and adventure. It is January 20th, 1978, and they have embarked on a crucial survey of St Marys Cathedral in Clayton Street, Newcastle. As they ascend to great heights with ladders in hand, these men epitomize both courage and skill. Their mission? To meticulously examine the spire and roof of the cathedral as part of a comprehensive survey ordered by Canon Francis Kearney, the parish priest. The safety precautions taken during this operation highlight the importance placed on health and safety even in this era. The image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with glimpses into UK social history from the 1970s. The weather vane atop St Marys Cathedral stands tall amidst an industrial landscape that was once bustling with activity. This remarkable photograph reminds us of the dedication required to maintain our architectural heritage while ensuring worker safety. It is a testament to those who fearlessly climb towards new heights to preserve our past for future generations.
