EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Eric Graham, takes us back to a rainy day in Manchester on the 16th of July, 1973. The image showcases a group of resilient Manchester Schoolboys patiently waiting for their next bus on the flooded Kingsway Road in Burnage. Despite the challenging weather conditions, these young boys display an admirable sense of camaraderie as they huddle together under their umbrellas. The photograph not only captures the essence of British resilience but also highlights the impact that adverse weather can have on everyday life. The flooded road serves as a reminder of how nature's forces can disrupt even the most mundane activities like commuting to school. In this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, one cannot help but notice that amidst all those schoolboys are a few girls who seem equally determined to reach their destination despite being drenched by raindrops. This image beautifully encapsulates both gender equality and determination in overcoming obstacles. Eric Graham's skillful composition transports us back to an era when public transportation was relied upon heavily by students and families alike. It reminds us that no matter what challenges we face - be it floods or heavy rains - our spirit remains unyielding as we adapt and find ways to continue with our daily routines.
