Annual Exhibition Fancy Dress North East Paper Papers Suit Tyneside

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant summer of 1970 at the Tyneside Summer Exhibition. The focal point of the image is five-year-old Sean, a boy full of youthful enthusiasm and creativity. Dressed in a remarkable suit made entirely out of Evening Chronicle newspapers, he stands proudly amidst the bustling event. This charming snapshot captures not only the innocence and playfulness of childhood but also showcases the resourcefulness and imagination that children possess. Sean's newspaper suit serves as a testament to his ingenuity and highlights his desire to stand out from the crowd. The Tyneside Summer Exhibition was an annual extravaganza eagerly anticipated by locals in North East England during that era. It provided families with an opportunity to revel in various attractions, games, and entertainment options all under one roof. Sean's unique costume undoubtedly turned heads at this lively gathering. His paper ensemble symbolizes both his individuality and his connection to local news culture—a true representation of community spirit. As we admire this delightful photograph, it reminds us that fancy dress events hold a special place in our memories—moments when we could transform ourselves into anyone or anything we desired for just a little while. And through this image captured by Staff at Memory Lane Prints, we can relive those cherished moments once again.
