EDITORS COMMENTS
On The Street Corner. Middlesbrough 1970s" is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to an era long past. The image, captured in the 1970s, depicts two young boys, Robin and Dale, standing on a street corner in the industrial town of Middlesbrough, England. The boys, dressed in typical 1970s attire, are deep in conversation, oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the world around them. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the history of Middlesbrough during this decade. The setting is a quintessential representation of the town's urban landscape, with its red brick buildings, cobblestone streets, and the iconic Transporter Bridge looming in the background. The boys' casual demeanor and the worn-out pavement under their feet add to the authenticity of the scene. Middlesbrough, a town with a rich industrial heritage, was undergoing significant changes during the 1970s. The decline of heavy industries, such as steel and coal, was leading to economic hardships and social unrest. Despite these challenges, life went on, and children like Robin and Dale continued to play and explore their surroundings. This photograph is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of simple moments to evoke memories and emotions. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the history of our towns and cities. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, providing a unique perspective on life in Middlesbrough during the 1970s.
