EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1920s at a bustling construction site in Tyne and Wear. The image captures a skilled workman diligently drilling holes in one of the bedstones on the Gateshead abutment for the bearings of the steel girders that will soon form the magnificent new Tyne Bridge. The dedication and expertise of these laborers is evident as they lay the groundwork for an iconic structure that would stand tall for decades to come. With his tools in hand, this male labourer showcases true manual prowess, embodying hard work and determination. As we gaze into the background, our eyes are drawn towards towering steel columns that will support these newly launched girders over Church Street. It's remarkable to witness how transportation and travel have evolved since then, reminding us of how far we've come technologically. This snapshot not only immortalizes a momentous period in history but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to building landmarks that shape our cities today. Their employment provided livelihoods during challenging times, showcasing resilience amidst economic hardships. Through this print from Memory Lane Prints, we can appreciate both the physical progress made during construction projects like these and acknowledge the invaluable contributions made by countless workers whose efforts often go unnoticed.
