EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in time - the 2nd of April, 1971. Standing tall against the cloudy sky are the Bewick House high rise flats in Newcastle, an iconic symbol of urban living during the 1970s. The image captures a cityscape that is both mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful. The towering structure evokes mixed emotions as it showcases the stark reality of housing conditions during this era. The imposing tower block stands as a testament to an era marked by social challenges and economic hardships. Its sheer size commands attention, yet its worn facade hints at a sense of weariness and neglect. The photograph's composition skillfully portrays the atmosphere surrounding these high-rise flats. The gloomy ambiance adds depth to our understanding of life within these walls; it is simultaneously depressing and grim, reflecting the struggles faced by those who called this place home. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but ponder on how society has evolved since then. It serves as a reminder that architecture can shape lives just as much as it shapes skylines - influencing communities for better or worse. NCJ's expert eye has captured not only bricks and mortar but also an entire chapter from history within this single frame. This print truly encapsulates the essence of an era defined by its housing crisis while inviting contemplation about progress made since those challenging times
