EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s and presented with a fascinating juxtaposition of past and present. The image showcases Councillor Walter Ferrier in the newly established Court Restaurant, which holds a significant historical significance. Once known as the place where porridge was handed out, it has now transformed into an establishment offering delectable meals and refreshing pints. The photograph also highlights an architectural marvel - the bar that used to be the dock at Middlesbrough Town Hall. This iconic landmark serves as a reminder of the town's rich history and its evolution over time. Its presence behind Councillor Ferrier adds depth to the image, symbolizing both progress and preservation. This snapshot captures a moment frozen in time - May 25th, 1978 - allowing us to reflect on how our surroundings can change while still retaining elements of their heritage. It invites contemplation about how places evolve to meet modern needs without completely erasing their roots. As we delve into this nostalgic scene, we are reminded of the resilience of landmarks like Middlesbrough Town Hall and how they continue to play vital roles within communities for generations. This evocative print is not just a visual delight but also prompts us to appreciate our shared history and cherish those spaces that have stood witness to countless stories throughout time.
