EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Newcastle on a crisp autumn day in 1971. The scene is filled with energy and anticipation as a group of hardworking barrow boys prepare for another day of trading. Their colorful barrows, neatly lined up in perfect formation, stand as a testament to their dedication and entrepreneurial spirit. The image captures the essence of small business in the 1970s, where street traders played an integral role in local communities. These barrow boys were at the heart of this vibrant economy, offering fresh fruits and produce to passersby. With a mixed age range among them, it is evident that this occupation provided opportunities for people from all walks of life. As we delve into this snapshot from UK social history, we are reminded of the importance placed on self-reliance and determination during these times. The Barrow boys' presence not only brought sustenance but also added vibrancy to the city streetscape. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - one that encapsulates both nostalgia and admiration for those who worked tirelessly to make ends meet. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that behind every small business lies stories untold; stories woven into the fabric of our society's growth and resilience.
