EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1989, captures a moment of everyday life in Newcastle upon Tyne's Haymarket, where the South African War Memorial stands proudly. The memorial, a poignant reminder of the lives lost during the Anglo-Boer War at the turn of the 20th century, is a familiar landmark in the city. In the foreground, a street trader sells an array of fresh vegetables from his stall, his vibrant display contrasting with the solemnity of the memorial behind him. The 1980s, a time of significant social and political change, are reflected in the scene, with the trader's colorful attire and the diverse crowd of shoppers around him. The photograph, taken by Philip Dunn, invites us to consider the intersection of history and the present, as well as the enduring vitality of urban markets. The South African War Memorial, a symbol of a bygone era, stands as a backdrop to the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Newcastle upon Tyne.
