EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic British Steel, South Bank Coke Ovens in Lackenby on a misty morning of 13th June 1987. The image takes us back to the industrial heyday of the 1980s, showcasing the immense scale and power of Britain's steel industry. The towering coke ovens stand as a testament to Teesside's rich industrial heritage. Their imposing presence dominates the landscape, juxtaposing against rows of humble homes that dot the area. This visual contrast serves as a reminder of how industries like steel played an integral role in shaping communities and providing livelihoods for countless families. However, this photograph also sheds light on some less desirable aspects associated with heavy industry. Thick plumes of smoke billow from chimneys, casting an eerie haze over the surroundings. The environmental impact is evident; pollution hangs in the air, serving as a stark reminder of challenges faced by both workers and residents alike. Despite these concerns, this image encapsulates an era when nationalized industries like British Steel Corporation (BSC) were at their peak. It represents not just a physical structure but also symbolizes resilience and determination amidst changing times. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come since then – both environmentally and economically. This print from Memory Lane Prints offers viewers a glimpse into history through its lens - capturing moments that shaped lives and landscapes forever etched in memory.
