EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the end of an era, this poignant print takes us back to Cleveland Park in Middlesbrough on the 8th of May, 1997. Once a vibrant hub for sports enthusiasts and dog lovers alike, this iconic stadium is now being demolished, marking the closure of a chapter in local history. In its heyday, Cleveland Park was renowned for its thrilling greyhound racing events and exhilarating speedway races. The track echoed with cheers from passionate spectators as sleek greyhounds raced towards victory or fearless riders maneuvered their bikes at breakneck speeds. It was a place where adrenaline met excitement. But time marches on, and progress often demands sacrifices. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time by Dave Charnely's lens, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for those days gone by. The once bustling stands now stand empty and silent; the roar of engines replaced by the deafening sound of demolition machinery. Yet amidst the rubble lies memories etched into every brick - memories that will forever remain alive within those who experienced them firsthand. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of what has been lost but also as a tribute to all those who found joy within these walls. As we reflect upon Cleveland Park's fate through this evocative image, let us remember the spirit it embodied - one filled with passion for sport and camaraderie among fellow fans.
