EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1975, capturing a general view of Pelaw Railway Station. Once known as one of the most picturesque stations on the South Shields to Newcastle line, this image tells a contrasting tale. The station's charm and elegance are marred by daubed spray paint that now covers its walls and platforms. The railway tracks stretch out into the distance, reminding us of the countless journeys taken by trains during that era. The wagons stand silently along the rails, bearing witness to their former glory. However, it is impossible to ignore the graffiti and vandalism that has defaced this once-beautiful station. Despite its current state, this photograph serves as a reminder of an important period in public transport history. It captures not only physical elements such as wagons and tracks but also reflects societal issues like graffiti culture prevalent in the 1970s. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, we can't help but ponder how time has transformed Pelaw Railway Station since that September day in 1975. Yet even amidst decay and neglect, there remains an undeniable allure within these weathered walls – a testament to both past grandeur and present resilience.
