EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and joy of the Mottershead family as they return home to Manchester after a memorable holiday in Guernsey, Channel Islands. The scene is set at Ringway Manchester Airport on the 13th of June, 1967. The Mottershead family, consisting of mum Audrey, dad John, and their children Nigel, Carol, and Colin, are beaming with happiness as they step off the plane. Among them stands their dear friend Barbara Lomas (centre), who worked at the airport and was there to welcome them back home. The 1960s were a time of significant growth and transformation for Manchester, with the city experiencing an economic boom due to the expansion of industries and transport networks. The airport, a symbol of this progress, was a bustling hub of activity, connecting people to the world beyond. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the era, with the family dressed in their holiday attire and the modern aircraft in the background. The sense of anticipation and adventure is palpable, as the Mottershead family embarks on the next chapter of their lives, having returned from their idyllic island getaway. This photograph, taken by the renowned local photographer Howard Walker from Memory Lane Prints, is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when travel was a luxury and the world seemed a little smaller. It invites us to reflect on the simple joys of family, friendship, and the thrill of new experiences.
