EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print titled "Lancashire comes to Ciskei: third of Four" we are transported back to East London, South Africa in 1963. The image captures a beautiful moment of cultural exchange and neighborly camaraderie. As the Lancashire contingent settles into their new homes, Mr and Mrs Green, representing the group, are seen warmly greeting their new door neighbors. A cup of tea is offered as a gesture of hospitality, symbolizing the coming together of two communities. The photograph showcases one of seventy-six houses built by the national Housing Commission for Lancashire families who have made this distant land their home. With fifty houses already completed, it is evident that progress is being made in creating a comfortable living environment for these newcomers. This snapshot not only highlights the physical construction but also emphasizes the importance of human connection during times of change and adaptation. It serves as a reminder that regardless of our backgrounds or origins, kindness and friendship can bridge any divide. Through this single frame frozen in time, we witness an exchange filled with hope and optimism for a brighter future. It encapsulates the spirit of unity amidst diversity - an enduring testament to humanity's ability to come together despite geographical boundaries or cultural differences.
