EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Stephen Elliott on the 26th of July, 1993, depicts a haunting scene along the River Tees in Middlesbrough. The image showcases a polluted section of the river that serves as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges faced during this era. The photograph transports us back to the 1990s when pollution was an alarming issue affecting many industrial areas like Middlesbrough. The once pristine waters are now marred with debris and chemicals, painting a grim picture of human impact on nature. Elliott's composition skillfully captures both the desolation and beauty within this scene. Despite its somber subject matter, there is an undeniable allure in how he frames the polluted river against a backdrop of industrial structures. This juxtaposition highlights not only our destructive tendencies but also our reliance on industry for progress and economic growth. As we reflect upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, it serves as a poignant reminder that preserving our natural resources should always be at the forefront of our collective consciousness. It prompts us to question how far we have come since then and what steps we must take to ensure cleaner rivers for future generations. Stephen Elliott's photograph encapsulates more than just pollution; it encapsulates an important moment in history where awareness about environmental issues began to gain momentum.
