EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the tumultuous era of the 1970s, where social unrest and labor disputes were prevalent. The image captures a powerful moment during the Stable boys strike at Newmarket, organized by the influential Transport and General Workers Union in April 1975. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of determined stable boys standing united against injustice. Their resolute faces reflect their unwavering commitment to fighting for better working conditions within the horseracing industry. Clad in worn-out overalls and donning placards with slogans demanding fair treatment, these brave individuals embody the spirit of protest that defined an entire generation. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of a specific industrial dispute but also as a representation of broader societal struggles faced during that period. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly glamorous industries like sport can harbor deep-rooted inequalities. As we gaze upon this poignant image from Memory Lane Prints, it is impossible not to be moved by the determination etched on these workers' faces. They remind us that change often comes through collective action and unwavering perseverance. This print stands as a testament to those who fought tirelessly for justice amidst challenging times, leaving an indelible mark on history's canvas
