Stockton Buildings And Structures Supplement

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the transformation of the historic almshouses at Stockton into the Anchorage Centre, frozen in time on a sunny day in June 1990. The image showcases a significant architectural shift that took place during the 1990s, as these once humble buildings were repurposed to serve an entirely new purpose. The almshouses, steeped in history and character, now stand proudly as the Anchorage Centre—a symbol of progress and adaptability. This conversion project not only preserved their unique charm but also breathed new life into them, ensuring their continued relevance for generations to come. Located in Stockton-on-Tees, this snapshot offers a glimpse into how society's needs evolve over time. What was once housing for those less fortunate has been transformed into a center that likely serves various community functions—perhaps providing support services or acting as a hub for social activities. Teesside Archive's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate both the original architecture and its subsequent adaptation. The composition beautifully captures the juxtaposition between old and new—the traditional brickwork harmonizing with modern touches seamlessly integrated within its walls. As we reflect upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, let it remind us of our ability to reimagine spaces while honoring their historical significance. It is through such transformations that we ensure our built environment remains relevant and continues to enrich lives long after its initial purpose has faded away.
