EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the derelict Methodist church on Peel Street in Thornaby. The date is January 23rd, 1973, and this once vibrant place of worship stands as a haunting reminder of its former glory. Abandoned since 1964, the church now awaits its inevitable demolition. The image transports us to the heart of Thornaby during the 1970s, where buildings and structures like this held immense significance for local communities. Churches were not just places of worship but also served as gathering spots for social events and community support. As we gaze at this photograph by Teesside Archive, we can't help but reflect on how time has transformed this sacred space into a mere relic. Its crumbling facade tells stories of countless sermons preached within these walls and echoes of hymns sung with fervor. This snapshot serves as an important reminder that change is constant; even cherished institutions can fade away over time. It prompts us to remember when this church was alive with activity and bustling with devoted congregants who found solace within its hallowed halls. Let this print transport you back to an era gone by - a testament to the impermanence of our surroundings and a gentle nudge to cherish what remains before it too becomes part of history's tapestry.
