EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Blackhill district of Glasgow in March 1970, where a group of children can be seen playing joyfully in the street. Despite the boarded up windows and signs of decay surrounding them, their youthful spirit shines through, reminding us that even in times of deprivation and poverty, children find ways to create happiness. The image captures a glimpse into the harsh reality faced by many families living in this slum area. The solid steel shutters on shops serve as a stark reminder of the challenges they encountered daily. Yet amidst these difficult circumstances, it is heartening to witness these resilient children finding solace and fun within their community. The photograph offers a poignant reflection on housing conditions during this era in Glasgow's history. It serves as an important reminder of how poverty affected not only individuals but entire neighborhoods. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when social issues were prevalent and tangible. Although taken by an unknown photographer, this print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It provides insight into the struggles faced by communities like Blackhill while also highlighting the strength and resilience found within them. As we observe these carefree children playing against all odds, let us remember their unwavering spirit as we strive for progress towards creating more equitable societies today.
