EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Newcastle's social history. Taken on the 26th of October, 1981, it showcases a small group of resilient and determined individuals known as the Newcastle barrow boys. These hardworking street traders are proudly posing with their hard-earned licenses for legal trading in the city center. After a grueling seven-year battle with the Newcastle City Council, these barrow boys finally achieved recognition and legitimacy for their small businesses. Their smiles radiate triumph and joy as they celebrate this milestone accomplishment. The image portrays an era when small-scale entrepreneurship was at its peak, highlighting the importance of these street traders to the local economy. With their humble barrows filled with goods ready to be sold, they played an integral role in providing essential products to the community. While unknown ages shroud them in mystery, their determination is evident through this photograph. It serves as a testament to their resilience and unwavering spirit amidst challenges faced by independent traders during that time. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints by NCJ, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of UK social history. It reminds us of the struggles faced by those who pursued self-employment while celebrating their ultimate victory over adversity.
