EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Chris Ball captures a moment frozen in time at the Royal Victoria Docks on 12th February 1980. The idle cranes stand tall against the tranquil backdrop of the docks, a stark reminder of the labor strike that gripped the industrial landscape of the UK during this period.
The absence of people in this image only serves to enhance the sense of abandonment and stillness that pervades the scene. The cranes, once bustling with activity, now remain motionless as a testament to the impact of industrial action on everyday life.
As we gaze upon this archival photograph, we are transported back to a time when strikes were commonplace and tensions ran high between workers and management. The frame captures not just a snapshot of history but also conveys a sense of resilience and determination amidst adversity.
The Royal Victoria Docks may have been quiet on that day in 1980, but their legacy lives on through images like these that remind us of the struggles faced by those who fought for better working conditions and fair treatment. Chris Ball's skillful composition brings out every detail in this powerful visual narrative, making it a timeless piece that resonates with viewers even decades later.
