EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1960s, a determined man wields a spade as he assists a snow plough in clearing the A259 road near the south coast of England. The grey, cloudy sky looms overhead, casting an ethereal light on the winter scene. The snowfall blankets the ground, transforming the landscape into a tranquil, yet challenging winter wonderland. The man's focused expression and the intense action of the snow plough convey a sense of urgency and perseverance as they work to keep the road clear for travel during the harsh winter weather. The van parked nearby, with its engine running and doors open, suggests that more equipment and personnel are on standby to tackle the snow and ice. The A259, a major road that runs along the south coast of England, is known for its scenic beauty and popular tourist attractions. However, this photograph captures a different side of the road, showcasing the resilience and hard work required to keep it accessible during the extreme weather conditions of the 1960s. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, when winter weather disruptions were more common and relied on manual labor and simple tools to keep essential transportation routes open. It also highlights the camaraderie and teamwork between the men as they worked together to keep the community connected during the cold, snowy days of the 1960s.
