EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a rural scene in Worksop on 6th April 1972. A recovery gang from the town has gathered outside a historic cottage in Wylam, where George Stephenson, the father of the railway, was born. The significance of this location is not lost on these six men as they diligently work together to take up the stretch of line that runs past the cottage. The image captures a moment frozen in time - an unknown age for each member of the gang but united by their shared purpose. Dressed in their working attire, these dedicated individuals epitomize hard work and determination. As we gaze at this photograph, our minds wander to thoughts of public transport and trains - symbols of progress and connectivity. It's fascinating to imagine how many journeys have been made along these very rails throughout history. This print by NCJ transports us back to a specific era - the 1970s - when railways were still an integral part of everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements and modernization, it is important to honor our roots and pay tribute to those who paved the way for such remarkable innovations.
