EDITORS COMMENTS
- a captivating print captures the unique scene of individuals traversing the river in an unconventional manner. Taken in the 1980s, this image showcases a metal road bridge off the High Street that has started to show signs of corrosion in its beams. To ensure safety and maintain connectivity for several weeks, North Yorkshire engineers have embarked on replacing these deteriorating metal beams with pre-cast concrete ones. The photograph depicts a picturesque view of this dam-style bridge, which accommodates both foot and motor traffic during the construction period. However, what truly stands out are three remarkable 12-inch diameter pipes strategically placed to prevent any overflow from the Leven River while work is underway. Surrounded by charming homes, houses, scenic landscapes, and bustling shops along Stokesley's streetscape, this photo encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also highlights the importance of infrastructure maintenance. It serves as a reminder that even historical towns like Stokesley must adapt and evolve to meet modern needs while preserving their beauty. This Memory Lane Prints' capture offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how communities come together to address challenges and find innovative solutions. The resilience displayed by both engineers and locals alike ensures that life continues uninterrupted amidst necessary renovations – allowing residents to walk on water in novel style until their beloved bridge is fully restored.
