EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Power Cuts at the offices of the Central Electricity Generating Board, Shirley" we are transported back to a chilly winter day in Birmingham on Tuesday, 15th February 1972. The image captures a moment of crisis as blackouts plagued the city during the energy shortage of the 1970s. The scene unfolds within the office space, where women can be seen huddled together for warmth. Clad in coats and wrapped in blankets, they bravely continue their work despite freezing temperatures. Their resilience shines through as they navigate this challenging period with determination and perseverance. The atmosphere is palpable; you can almost feel the biting cold that permeates every corner of the room. Yet amidst these difficult circumstances, there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie among colleagues who band together to overcome adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by power cuts and energy crises. It encapsulates not only a specific moment in time but also reflects upon broader societal challenges faced during that decade. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints from Birmingham Post and Mail Archive, this image offers us a glimpse into history while honoring those who endured such hardships with unwavering dedication.
