EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1976, offering a haunting glimpse into the derelict and vandalized Longbenton Railway Station. As we peer through the lens, a sense of abandonment lingers in the air, with nature slowly reclaiming its territory amidst broken windows and crumbling walls. Once bustling with commuters and echoing with the rhythmic chugging of trains, this station now stands as a solemn reminder of bygone days. The platform, once teeming with life and anticipation for journeys ahead, is now eerily empty. A weathered sign still proudly displays its name but seems to have lost all purpose in this desolate setting. Graffiti sprawled across every available surface tells tales of rebellious spirits who sought solace within these forgotten walls. Vibrant colors clash against the decaying backdrop, leaving an indelible mark on both structure and memory alike. The image captures not only physical decay but also hints at societal changes that took place during this transformative era. It serves as a poignant reflection on how public transport was evolving amidst shifting priorities. Through NCJ's lens, we are transported back to an era where progress clashed with neglect; where railways were once symbols of connectivity but now lay abandoned in disarray. This photograph encapsulates both nostalgia for what was lost and curiosity about what lies beyond those boarded-up doors - a testament to our ever-changing world.
