EDITORS COMMENTS
Thomasina Thomson, 83, proudly poses with her son Cliff and daughter Sylvia Adams as they hold a precious print that holds significant historical value. The photograph captures Mrs. Thomson's family featured in the Evening Chronicle back in 1939, commemorating their status as the first Newcastle family to have an air raid shelter installed during World War Two. This heartwarming image showcases the resilience and determination of families on the home front during those tumultuous times. As war loomed over their lives, Thomasina and her loved ones took proactive measures to protect themselves from potential air raids. The trio's expressions reflect a mixture of pride and nostalgia as they reminisce about this pivotal moment in their family history. Their smiles convey a sense of unity and strength that prevailed amidst uncertainty. The year is now 1985, but the memories captured within this picture remain vivid for Thomasina, Cliff, and Sylvia. It serves as a tangible reminder of their shared experiences during one of humanity's darkest periods. As we admire this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints by NCJ, let us honor not only this remarkable family but also all those who endured hardships on the home front throughout World War Two. May it remind us to cherish our own moments of triumph over adversity.
