EDITORS COMMENTS
Preserving the Past: Staff Rally to Save Historic Wallsend Memorial Hall". In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Wallsend Memorial Hall in 1957. Young dancers fill the floor, exuding joy and enthusiasm as they revel in what is claimed to be the North East's first rock 'n' roll dance. The hall, now a Grade-II listed building, holds cherished memories for countless individuals who have passed through its doors over the years. However, today's reality paints a different picture. Faced with financial struggles and fears of repossession, staff at this cash-strapped community centre have taken matters into their own hands. In an act of unwavering dedication and determination, they have staged a round-the-clock lock-in within these historic walls. Their efforts aim not only to protect this architectural gem but also to secure its future as a vital hub for the local community. As funding has dried up for this ambitious project, tensions rise amidst concerns about losing yet another piece of history. This powerful image serves as a reminder that our heritage deserves preservation and support. It captures both the spirit of unity among those fighting for Wallsend Memorial Hall's survival and the significance it holds within generations past and present. Let us hope that through their tireless commitment and advocacy, these dedicated staff members can overcome adversity and ensure that future generations will continue to create cherished memories within these hallowed halls.
