EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the bustling city of Coventry in 1970. The image showcases two dedicated employees of Cannair Moodie Ltd, Charlie Rodgers from Arranmore and James McGee from Falcarragh, diligently working on a monumental project - a seven-mile tunnel under Coventry's city centre. With their sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, these skilled workers epitomize the spirit of hard work and determination that characterized the era. Known as the "tunnel tigers" they fearlessly ventured into the depths beneath the city streets to dig out what would become an essential sewer system for Coventry. The photograph not only captures their physical labor but also offers a glimpse into their working conditions. Covered in dirt and sweat, Rodgers and McGee exemplify resilience as they navigate through narrow passageways deep underground. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance during an era when manual labor was still at its peak. It reminds us of the immense effort required to build infrastructure that often goes unnoticed by those who benefit from it daily. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on the unsung heroes like Rodgers and McGee whose dedication helped shape our cities' foundations. Their tireless commitment is forever etched within this remarkable piece of history captured by Memory Lane Prints.
