EDITORS COMMENTS
Construction of Tees Barrage, on the day Prince Philip visits. 18th May 1993". This print captures a momentous occasion in North Yorkshire's history - the construction of Tees Barrage on a significant day when Prince Philip paid a visit. The year was 1993, and this snapshot from the 20th century showcases the sheer scale and ambition behind this remarkable feat of engineering. Intricate cranes dominate the skyline as they tirelessly work to erect this imposing barrier along the River Tees. This ambitious project aimed to prevent devastating floods that had plagued Stockton-on-Tees and Thornaby-on-Tees for years, safeguarding local communities against nature's wrath. The Duke of Edinburgh himself graced this monumental event with his presence, symbolizing royal support for such vital infrastructure developments. His visit not only highlighted its significance but also brought attention to the tireless efforts invested by industry professionals who dedicated themselves to protecting these lands. This photograph is an enduring testament to human ingenuity and determination in harnessing nature's power for our benefit. It serves as a reminder of how collaboration between industry experts and royalty can lead to transformative projects that shape our landscapes for generations to come. As we gaze upon this image today, let us appreciate both the historical significance it holds within North Yorkshire's narrative and honor those who contributed their skills towards constructing an enduring symbol of flood prevention - Tees Barrage.
