EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stark contrast between new flats and old buildings in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear. Taken on the 30th of April 1964, it offers a glimpse into the changing face of architecture during the mid-20th century. In this snapshot from the past, we see a bustling corner of Vale Street where modern high-rise flats stand tall alongside traditional structures. The juxtaposition is striking, as sleek lines and contemporary design meet with weathered facades that have stood for generations. It's a visual representation of progress meeting history. The presence of cars parked along the street adds to the sense of timelessness captured in this image. A co-operative shop can be seen at one end, serving as a reminder of community spirit amidst urban development. Notably, there are signs of dereliction scattered among these architectural landmarks – rubble strewn across vacant lots hint at ongoing changes within this vibrant cityscape. As we gaze upon this photograph, taken by an anonymous staff member from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era when modernity was reshaping our cities while remnants of tradition held their ground. It serves as a testament to how our built environment evolves over time but also reminds us that some things endure despite change – like memories frozen in prints such as these.
