EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1990s, specifically to Thornaby on the 8th of August, 1991. The image captures a powerful moment during a public meeting held by National Grid in Thornaby. The residents of this industrial town are clearly expressing their discontent with the proposed plans for pylons. The focal point of the photograph is an angry message displayed on a sign that reads, "Residents message: We Do Not Want Your Pylons in Thornaby". This bold statement reflects the frustration and annoyance felt by these individuals towards National Grid's intentions. It serves as a visual representation of their determination to protect their community. In the background, we catch a glimpse of Teesside Power Station towering over the landscape. This juxtaposition between industry and resident opposition adds depth to our understanding of this momentous event. It highlights how local communities often find themselves at odds with large corporations when it comes to decisions impacting their surroundings. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its timeless portrayal of people standing up against what they perceive as unjust or unwanted developments. It serves as a reminder that collective action can make a difference even when faced with powerful entities like National Grid.
