EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Alfred Markey, we are transported back to the 1960s in Hull, East Yorkshire. It's a typical dinner break at the bustling docks, where hardworking dockers take a well-deserved respite from their laborious tasks. But instead of simply resting or chatting amongst themselves, these spirited workers have decided to make the most of their break by engaging in an impromptu game of football. With the picturesque backdrop of boats and tractors dotting the landscape, these dockers showcase not only their dedication to work but also their love for sport. The camaraderie is palpable as they kick around a ball with enthusiasm and skill. Their laughter and shouts echo through the air, momentarily transforming this industrial setting into a playground filled with joy and friendly competition. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst demanding jobs and long hours, it is essential to find moments of leisure and connection. These dockers exemplify resilience and unity as they come together during their brief reprieve from manual labor. Through sports like football, they forge bonds that transcend occupation or social status. Alfred Markey's photograph captures not just a scene frozen in time but also encapsulates an era when hard work was valued above all else. It immortalizes these unsung heroes who played vital roles in keeping our ports thriving while reminding us of the importance of finding balance between work and play
