EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1979, we are transported back in time to Hartlepool, where two remarkable women stand proudly before the iconic St Hildas Church. On the left is Beverly Baxter, a former Miss Steel, radiating elegance and poise at just 22 years old. Standing beside her is Barbara Gratton, a 24-year-old tourist officer who exudes confidence and charm. The historic St Hildas Church serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop to this snapshot of beauty and ambition. Its architectural grandeur speaks volumes about the rich history of Christianity in Hartlepool. As a Grade 1 listed building, it stands tall as a testament to faith and devotion. This image captures more than just two young women posing for a photograph; it encapsulates the spirit of holiday promotion and tourism that was prevalent during the vibrant 1970s era. The presence of these inspiring women showcases their role in promoting Hartlepool's cultural heritage to visitors from far and wide. As we gaze upon this nostalgic scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the power of religion and its ability to bring people together across generations. This print not only immortalizes Beverly Baxter's beauty but also pays tribute to Barbara Gratton's dedication as she welcomes tourists with open arms. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints' staff, this picture allows us to reflect on an era defined by progressiveness, architectural marvels like St Hildas Church, and strong-willed women making their mark
