EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "General scenes of traffic scenes in Newcastle - The empty tolls at the Tyne Tunnel" takes us back to a significant moment in time: 20 June 1979. Transport enthusiasts and history buffs alike will appreciate this snapshot from the 1970s, as it beautifully captures an era defined by its bustling roads and iconic cars. The focus of the image is on the deserted toll booths at the renowned Tyne Tunnel, located in Newcastle. Once a hub of activity with streams of vehicles passing through its gates, this particular scene presents an unusual sight – complete emptiness. It offers a rare glimpse into a typically chaotic space frozen in time. The composition showcases not only the tunnel itself but also highlights elements that were emblematic of transportation during that period. Vintage automobiles line up patiently, waiting for their turn to pay their toll fees before continuing on their journeys. The surrounding road network adds depth to the photograph, reminding us how interconnected these routes are within our urban landscapes. Preserved by NCJ's expert lensmanship and now immortalized through Memory Lane Prints, this evocative image invites viewers to reflect upon how much has changed since those days while appreciating the timeless beauty found within everyday scenes. Whether you're familiar with Newcastle or simply captivated by transport history, this print serves as a visual gateway into an era where roads were filled with stories yet untold.
