EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the winter of 1985 in Newbiggin, Northumberland. The image captures a heartwarming moment as Father Christmas makes an unconventional arrival by lifeboat. As the festive season is in full swing, the local community gathers along the coast to witness this unique and exciting event. The photograph beautifully portrays the customs and traditions of Christmas during that era. Dressed in his iconic red suit and white beard, Santa Claus can be seen waving enthusiastically from the lifeboat named Mary Joicey. The sparkling sea serves as a picturesque backdrop for this memorable scene. This snapshot not only showcases the spirit of Christmas but also highlights the bravery and dedication of those involved with Teesside's Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Their efforts ensured that Father Christmas safely reached Newbiggin amidst potentially treacherous waters. As we reflect on this charming piece of history, it reminds us of simpler times when communities came together to celebrate timeless traditions. This photograph is a testament to how even in changing times, some customs remain steadfastly cherished. Whether displayed during holiday seasons or all year round, this print will undoubtedly evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth within any viewer. It serves as a reminder that joyous moments like these should be celebrated and preserved for generations to come.
