EDITORS COMMENTS
Tea making during Power Cuts, 11th December 1970. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time of resourcefulness and creativity amidst the challenges of power cuts in the 1970s. In a humble kitchen in Newcastle, a determined woman finds an ingenious solution to continue her tea-making ritual despite the lack of electricity. With only a spare car battery and a headlamp bulb providing dim light, she skillfully operates an antique copper kettle on a trusty picnic stove. The flickering candlelight adds an enchanting ambiance as she carefully tends to her brewing tea. This image captures not just the act of making tea but also showcases human resilience and adaptability in times of adversity. The woman's ingenuity doesn't end there - when power eventually returns, she cleverly recharges the car battery using it as both fuel for her daily activities and as part of her makeshift power generation system. It is through these small acts that we witness how individuals can find innovative solutions even in challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a reminder that sometimes our greatest strengths lie within ourselves - our ability to think outside the box and make do with what we have at hand.
