EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Castle Garth stairs in Newcastle during the early 1930s. The image beautifully captures a quaint study of a local industry that has withstood the test of time - clog-making. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where craftsmanship and tradition were at the heart of business. The worn stone steps serve as a backdrop for several small shops, their windows filled with rows upon rows of intricately designed clogs. These sturdy wooden shoes were once essential footwear for many locals, but by 1931, their popularity had waned. Yet, against all odds and faced with mounting difficulties, these resilient artisans continued to ply their trade. The photograph exudes nostalgia as it immortalizes a fading industry that was once synonymous with Newcastle's identity. It reminds us of the importance of cherishing our heritage and preserving traditional crafts amidst changing times. As we delve into this visual treasure trove from Memory Lane Prints, let us take a moment to appreciate the dedication and resilience displayed by those who kept this old local industry alive on Castle Garth stairs. Their unwavering commitment serves as an inspiration for future generations to honor our past while forging ahead into an ever-evolving world.
