EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a momentous milestone in history, this print commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the Gateshead MetroCentre. On April 23,1986, as the sun rose over the bustling cityscape, a new era began with the first shops opening their doors to eager customers. The spirit of excitement and anticipation filled the air. The official grand opening on October 13,1986, marked a significant turning point for this iconic establishment. As if destined to be part of this historic occasion, The City of Wells steam locomotive gracefully chugged into view at the new travel interchange on August 3rd, 1987. Its majestic presence symbolized progress and connectivity. In this snapshot frozen in time from Memory Lane Prints' collection, we witness a small group of people gathered at the railway station platform. Train spotters young and old eagerly await their next adventure aboard these magnificent engines that have become synonymous with public transport in our beloved community. As we delve into this nostalgic scene from the vibrant decade of the '80s, let us reflect upon how far we have come since then. This image serves as a reminder not only of our shared heritage but also of how vital transportation infrastructure is in shaping our lives and connecting us all.
