EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Kelso, we are transported back to the bustling year of 1964. The image showcases a group of resilient lorry drivers from St Helens who find themselves in an unexpected predicament. Having endured a grueling wait of 24 hours, their patience is tested following a hold-up at Gladstone Docks in Liverpool. The scene depicts the resilience and determination that defined the transportation industry during this era. These hardworking individuals stand united, forming an orderly queue as they anxiously await their turn to move forward. Their tired faces tell tales of exhaustion mixed with unwavering resolve. As smoke swirls around them, it becomes evident that cigarettes provide solace amidst the frustration and anticipation. Each driver clings tightly to his own personal vice, finding momentary relief from the tension-filled atmosphere surrounding them. This snapshot not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a powerful representation of an entire industry's dedication and perseverance. It reminds us of the challenges faced by those working tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our world moving forward. Kelso's photograph transports us back to an era when sea transport was paramount for global trade, highlighting both its importance and the human stories hidden within its vast machinery.
