EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Newcastle upon Tyne in the late 1980s, as a determined newspaper seller, identified as Philip Dunn, braves the chilly night air to offer the latest editions of The Evening Chronicle to passersby in Northumberland Street. The date on this image is 1989, a time when the city's bustling streets were still filled with the sights and sounds of traditional trades, despite the encroaching modernization. The photograph, taken in the heart of Newcastle's shopping district, showcases the unique character of the city's nightlife. The streetlights cast long, dramatic shadows, while the reflections on the wet pavement add a sense of depth and texture to the scene. The seller's determined expression and the neatly stacked piles of newspapers create a compelling visual narrative, hinting at the importance of staying informed and connected to the community, even in the darkest hours. This photograph, taken by an unidentified artist, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the simple act of buying a newspaper from a street vendor was an integral part of daily life. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and resilient spirit of Newcastle upon Tyne, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of North East England's cultural heritage.
