EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the dim glow of candlelight, members of Stockton Amateur Boxing Club demonstrate their unwavering dedication to their craft. Craig Heaviside, a mere 15 years old, stands alongside Graham Hindmarsh, 18, and Michael Harrison, 16, as they train relentlessly in the club's temporary headquarters on Dixon Street. A striking image that encapsulates both determination and resilience. In an unfortunate turn of events, the North Eastern Electricity Board (NEEB) has refused to reconnect power to the old Bill Boyd Health Studio due to its deteriorating wiring. Undeterred by this setback, these aspiring boxers have adapted to their circumstances with candles casting flickering shadows around them. The year is 1980; it is a testament to their passion for boxing that these young athletes continue honing their skills despite the lack of modern amenities. The photograph serves as a reminder that true strength lies within one's spirit rather than external conditions. Teesside Archive presents this poignant snapshot from Memory Lane Prints – a timeless portrayal of perseverance and commitment within the world of sports. Let us celebrate these individuals who defy adversity and illuminate our hearts with hope through their shadowboxing sessions.
