City Demolition Metro Public Transport Rail Railway Rubble St James Tyne And Wear Metro 1976
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 a significant moment in the history of Newcastle, as part of Gallowgate is flattened to pave the way for the new St. James Station. Taken on June 22nd, 1976, this image showcases the city's transformation during the 1970s. In this snapshot from the past, we witness a bustling urban scene being dismantled to make room for progress and modernization. The demolition work signifies a shift towards improved public transportation infrastructure with the introduction of Tyne and Wear Metro system. As rubble fills what was once a vibrant street, it serves as a poignant reminder of how cities evolve over time. The photograph also highlights St. James Station's pivotal role in connecting people across Newcastle and beyond. This major railway hub has been an integral part of travel and transport in the region for decades. As we delve into this visual time capsule, we are transported back to an era when change was sweeping through Newcastle's streetscape. It prompts us to reflect on how cities constantly adapt to meet growing demands while preserving their unique heritage. This print from Memory Lane Prints not only preserves a remarkable moment in history but also invites us to appreciate our ever-evolving urban landscapes and recognize that progress often comes at some cost – even if it means flattening parts of our beloved cityscape along the way.
