EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Girls of the North Shields Fish Quay packing herring for abroad" we are transported back to the bustling fishing industry of England in the 1930s. The image showcases a group of hardworking women, their faces filled with determination and pride as they meticulously pack herring for shipment to Russia and Germany, two major customers for this beloved delicacy. The scene is a testament to the vital role these women played in sustaining the local economy and supporting their families during a time when opportunities for female employment were limited. Each woman's hands move swiftly, skillfully arranging the silver fish into crates destined for foreign shores. Their expertise in fishpacking shines through as they work together seamlessly, forming an unbreakable bond within this close-knit community. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by these remarkable women who defied societal norms to contribute significantly to their industry. It symbolizes their unwavering commitment to their craft and highlights how essential they were in shaping Northumberland's rich fishing heritage. Oswald Peterson's masterful composition allows us to glimpse into history, offering us an intimate window into an era long gone but never forgotten. This evocative image stands as a tribute not just to those featured but also honors countless unsung heroes who dedicated themselves tirelessly behind-the-scenes within various industries across the United Kingdom.
