EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th of March, 1980, in Gateshead. It showcases a remarkable transformation as the Gateshead and Jarrow Methodist Circuit converted a disused church into a vibrant Family Centre. Determined not to let this beautiful building succumb to dereliction, the decision was made to repurpose it for the community's benefit. In this particular shot, we see Nursery nurse Hillary Nicholson amidst the newly established family cinema within the converted church. Her warm smile reflects both her pride in being part of such an innovative project and her excitement about what lies ahead for this unique space. The image captures more than just an interior scene; it encapsulates hope and revitalization. The recycled pews now serve as comfortable seating, while stained glass windows provide a colorful backdrop for movie screenings that bring joy and entertainment to families from all walks of life. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how buildings can be transformed with vision and determination. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness – turning something old into something new that enriches lives. Memory Lane Prints allows us access to these precious moments from our past, reminding us of our shared history while inspiring us towards future possibilities where creativity breathes new life into forgotten spaces.
