Shopping during Powercuts, James Taylor is able to keep his pharmacy open by using emergency lighting during power cuts, 2nd November 1977. In this print captured by Hepple from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s when electricity shortages were a common occurrence. The image showcases the resourcefulness and determination of small business owners like James Taylor in Newcastle. As darkness enveloped the city due to a power outage on that fateful day, James refused to let his customers down. With only candlelight illuminating his shop, he ingeniously utilized emergency lighting systems to ensure that essential medicines remained accessible for those in need. Despite the challenges posed by fuel and power generation limitations at the time, James' commitment towards serving his community shone brightly through these flickering flames. The photograph not only captures an era marked by energy scarcity but also symbolizes resilience and adaptability amidst adversity. It reminds us of simpler times when candles held more than just decorative value; they represented hope and perseverance. This snapshot serves as a testament to individuals like James Taylor who went above and beyond their call of duty during trying circumstances. Their unwavering dedication ensured that vital services continued uninterrupted even in moments of darkness.
