EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the juxtaposition between nature and industry in a powerful way. Taken on the 19th of April, 1979, it showcases ICI owned Wilton Castle standing tall amidst the towering structures of Teesside's industrial landscape. The contrast is striking - a symbol of British manufacturing prowess against the backdrop of East Cleveland's skyline. Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), once an influential chemical company, dominated this area during the 20th century. This image serves as a reminder of their presence and impact on North Yorkshire's environment. While Wilton Castle exudes grandeur and history, its surroundings tell a different story; one marked by pollution and relentless manufacturing activities. The towers of industry loom large behind the castle, representing progress but also raising questions about environmental consequences. The smokestacks billowing dark clouds into the sky serve as a stark reminder that progress often comes at a cost to our natural world. Photographer Dave Jamieson skillfully captures this moment in time, freezing it forever within this print from Memory Lane Prints. It invites viewers to reflect upon how industries shape landscapes and prompts us to consider finding sustainable ways to balance economic growth with preserving our environment for future generations.
