EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in the North East of England. Taken in the 1970s on Southbank in Teesside, the image features an elderly man with a characterful face, dressed in a big coat, flat cap, and holding a cane. His large nose, framed by the rim of his glasses, adds to his distinctive features. The man's glum expression and the grim backdrop of the urban landscape add to the sense of melancholy and nostalgia. The man, with his worn-out overcoat and working-class attire, is a testament to the resilience and grit of the people of the North during this period. His story is one of hardship and survival, of living through challenging times with dignity and determination. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Robin Dale, is a poignant reminder of the characterful faces that once populated the urban landscapes of the North East. It invites us to pause and reflect on the rich tapestry of stories that make up the history of this region. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving the past and celebrating the unique character of our communities. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the social history of the North East, or for those who simply appreciate the beauty and depth of a well-told story.
