EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Scottish fisher girls packing herrings for export trade at North Shields fish Quay" we are transported back to the bustling fishing industry of the 1930s. The image captures a pivotal moment in time, as Scottish women diligently work together to pack barrels full of freshly caught herrings destined for international markets. The scene is set against the backdrop of North Shields fish Quay, where record-breaking catches have recently been landed. The sheer scale of the operation is awe-inspiring, with rows upon rows of wooden barrels stacked high, ready to be shipped off across the globe. These hardworking women play an integral role in ensuring that these prized delicacies reach their destinations in pristine condition. Their determination and skill shine through as they meticulously arrange each herring into its designated barrel, showcasing both their expertise and dedication to their craft. Their hands move swiftly yet gracefully, a testament to years spent honing their skills on these very shores. This photograph not only documents a specific moment in history but also pays homage to the vital contributions made by women within traditionally male-dominated industries. It serves as a reminder that strength knows no gender boundaries and that these Scottish fisher girls were pioneers in breaking down societal barriers. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints' meticulous attention to detail, this evocative snapshot invites us to reflect upon our shared past while celebrating the resilience and tenacity displayed by those who came before us.
