EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1970s, capturing a haunting scene of West Jesmond Railway Station. The image showcases the vandalised and broken canopy of this once bustling station, which was sadly scheduled for demolition on August 9th, 1971. The derelict state of the station is evident as we observe the worn-out platform, abandoned seats, and neglected sign that once welcomed passengers. The tracks stretch out into the distance, symbolizing a forgotten era when trains were a lifeline for many communities. Looking at this photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about what stories these walls could tell. It serves as a reminder of how public transport played an essential role in connecting people across vast distances during simpler times. Despite its dilapidated appearance due to vandalism over time, there is still beauty in this decaying structure. It stands as a testament to resilience against the passage of time and human neglect. NCJ's skillful capture allows us to reflect upon our own journeys through life while appreciating history's remnants. This print not only preserves a moment frozen in time but also invites viewers to contemplate their connection with both past and present railway systems.
