EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the city of Newcastle in September 1965. Standing tall against the cloudy sky are the high rise flats at Shieldfield, a symbol of urban development during the mid-20th century. In the foreground, we see an intriguing sculpture called "Family Group" by J R Murray McCheyne, adding a touch of artistic beauty to this otherwise somber scene. The image evokes mixed emotions as it captures both the architectural marvel and social realities of its time. The imposing tower blocks represent progress and modernity but also serve as a reminder of challenging living conditions for many families. The starkness and gloominess portrayed in this photograph reflect the hardships faced by residents who called these high rises their homes. Despite its melancholic ambiance, there is a sense of resilience in this snapshot from history. It serves as a testament to how art can coexist with even the most depressing landscapes, offering solace amidst adversity. This print invites viewers to contemplate not only on urban development but also on themes such as family dynamics, housing issues, and UK social history. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints' collection, this image allows us to peer into Newcastle's past while contemplating our present-day understanding of architecture, society, and human experiences within cityscapes.
