EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Workers Playtime? No. and it's not a see-saw game either" takes us back to the bustling city streets of Hull, Yorkshire in July 1942. In this snapshot from the 1940s home front, we witness a group of dedicated men engaged in an important task - persuading old tramlines to come away from their bed in the roads. The explanation behind these workers' antics lies in their commitment to recycling and contributing to the war effort. The lines they are taking up will be repurposed as high-grade steel for guns, tanks, and other essential military equipment during World War II. Amidst a street scene filled with road works and construction materials, these workmen showcase remarkable teamwork as they collaborate on this crucial mission. Their efforts reflect the spirit of unity that prevailed during those challenging times. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how every individual played a role in supporting the war on waste. It captures both the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by ordinary people who selflessly contributed to their country's cause. As we delve into this piece of history through Memory Lane Prints' collection, let us appreciate these unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes, ensuring that no material went unused or wasted during one of humanity's darkest periods.
