Cutter Face: A Glimpse into the Past of Tees Estuary in the 1970s This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Tees Estuary in the 1970s, with its raw beauty and industrial might. At the heart of the image is the figure of a man, identified as Robin Dale, also known as 'Cutter Face.' A local character and skilled fisherman, Dale earned his nickname from the intricate cuts he made on the wooden hulls of his small fishing boat, the 'Cutter,' to ensure it could navigate the treacherous waters of the estuary. The Tees Estuary, located on the northeast coast of England, has a rich maritime history, and its waters have long been a source of livelihood for generations of fishermen. In the 1970s, the estuary was a hive of activity, with a thriving fishing community that depended on the sea for their livelihoods. The photograph captures the rugged landscape of the Tees Estuary, with its mudflats, sandbanks, and industrial installations. In the background, the Teesport Power Station looms large, a symbol of the region's industrial heritage. The smoke stacks belch out plumes of steam, a reminder of the coal-fired power plants that once dominated the region's energy landscape. Despite the industrial backdrop, the photograph also showcases the natural beauty of the estuary. The vast expanse of water stretches out to the horizon, dotted with small boats and fishing nets. The sky is overcast, adding to the moody atmosphere of the scene. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the Tees Estuary was a bustling hub of maritime activity, and the local community relied on the sea for their livelihoods. It is a poignant reminder of the region's rich history and the people who have shaped it.
