EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Simon Calgie, we are transported back to the 1990s in Lazanby, a small community in Redcar and Cleveland. The image portrays a group of frustrated residents covering their ears as they endure the deafening noise emanating from the nearby Enron site on the 17th of February, 1993. The expressions on their faces speak volumes - anger and annoyance clearly etched upon them. Their hands firmly pressed against their ears serve as both a physical barrier against the unbearable noise and a symbolic gesture of protest against an industry that has disrupted their peaceful existence. This snapshot encapsulates not only the struggles faced by these specific individuals but also represents a larger narrative of communities affected by industrialization during this era. Teesside Power Station looms ominously in the background, serving as a constant reminder of how progress can sometimes come at great cost to those living nearby. Simon Calgie's photograph serves as an important historical document, shedding light on the impact that industries like Enron had on local residents' quality of life. It invites us to reflect upon our own responsibility towards balancing economic growth with environmental and social well-being. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Memory Lane Prints, let it remind us that behind every industry lies real people whose lives are deeply intertwined with its consequences.
