EDITORS COMMENTS
The juxtaposition of old and new is striking in this print captured on 8 June 1965. The completed landscaping treatment at the high rise flats at Cruddas Park Housing Estate in Newcastle stands as a testament to urban development during the mid-20th century. Towering above, these high rise flats represent a shift towards modernity and progress, while the remnants of old-style housing in the background serve as a poignant reminder of what once was. The cityscape exudes a sense of melancholy, with its grim atmosphere and somber undertones. Yet amidst this backdrop, pockets of greenery emerge defiantly. Trees dotting the landscape offer glimpses of nature's resilience against an otherwise concrete jungle. This photograph captures not only physical structures but also echoes social history. It reflects upon an era when tower blocks were seen as solutions to housing shortages but often resulted in isolating communities and diminishing quality of life for some residents. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that every corner holds stories waiting to be discovered – tales of hope, struggle, and change etched into the very fabric of our cities.
