EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant event that unfolded on the 1st of September, 1971. The image captures the dramatic scene as palls of smoke billow over Redcar and extend all the way to Skelton, creating an eerie atmosphere. The cause? A fire that erupted near the Shell refinery at Teesport. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the power and impact of industrial incidents during the 1970s. The chemical and petrochemical industry was booming, but it came with its fair share of risks. This particular fire serves as a stark reminder of those dangers. The photograph not only documents a momentous event but also highlights how interconnected communities were in Teesside during this era. The reach of the smoke is evident as it blankets both Redcar and Skelton, affecting residents far and wide. Looking at this picture today evokes nostalgia for an era when industries shaped our landscapes and lives in profound ways. It prompts reflection on how far we have come since then in terms of safety measures and environmental consciousness within these sectors. Memory Lane Prints' collection allows us to delve into history through powerful visuals like this one - images that capture moments etched forever in our collective memory.
