EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant atmosphere of Middlesbrough Docks during the 1970s. The image focuses on two workers, Robin and Dale, as they apply fresh coats of paint to the hull of a ship. The gritty texture of the dockside is contrasted by the glossy sheen of the newly painted surface, reflecting the industrial yet beautiful transformation taking place. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Tees River, with the sun casting long shadows over the water. The cranes and ships in the distance add to the sense of industry and activity that was a hallmark of Middlesbrough Docks during this era. Middlesbrough Docks were a hub of maritime activity during the 1970s, with ships coming and going from all corners of the world. The docks were a vital part of the local economy, providing employment for thousands of people and contributing to the town's reputation as a center for heavy industry. Robin and Dale, like many others, played a crucial role in maintaining the docks and keeping the ships in top condition. Their paint job is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the dockworkers, who ensured that the docks remained a thriving and productive part of Middlesbrough's industrial landscape. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Middlesbrough Docks and the important role they played in the town's past. The image is a reminder of the human stories that are often overlooked in the narrative of industrial history, and serves as a tribute to the men and women who worked tirelessly to keep the docks running.
