The British Steel Gala, Teesside. This print captures the vibrant spirit of the 1993 Gala as one of its floats proudly showcases a display of the iconic South Bank Coke Ovens Tramway. The image transports us back to a time when industry and leisure seamlessly intertwined in this bustling steel town. The float itself is a visual spectacle, adorned with characters dressed up in costumes that pay homage to the rich industrial heritage of Teesside. Each detail on the float tells a story - from towering smokestacks symbolizing progress and innovation, to hardworking men and women representing the backbone of British Steel Corporation (BSC). This snapshot encapsulates an event where locals gathered to celebrate their shared history and pride in their community's contribution to steel production. It serves as a reminder that even amidst heavy industry, there was room for joyous festivities and collective appreciation. James Ashford's expert eye has beautifully captured this moment in time, freezing it forever within this stunning print. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to an era where steel reigned supreme and Teesside thrived on its industrial prowess. This photograph is not just about commercial use or profit; it is about preserving memories and honoring the legacy left behind by those who worked tirelessly in these steel mills. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and communal celebration.
