EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1980s, capturing a glimpse of the bustling Braddons Hill Road West offices of the Herald in Torquay. The focal point of this nostalgic image is none other than the old linotype machines that were once at the heart of newspaper printing. These magnificent machines, with their intricate mechanisms and clattering keys, were responsible for transforming words into tangible news articles. As we peer into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported to a bygone era when newspapers were crafted with meticulous care and dedication. The linotype machines stand proudly amidst a sea of activity, surrounded by dedicated printers who skillfully operate them. It's fascinating to witness these craftsmen meticulously arranging metal typefaces before they are pressed onto paper. The atmosphere in this photograph exudes an air of nostalgia as we marvel at the technology that was cutting-edge during its time but has since been replaced by digital advancements. This image serves as a reminder of how far printing techniques have evolved over the years. With its rich history and unmistakable charm, this print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to those hardworking individuals who played an integral role in delivering news to communities across Devon.
