EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Hawkhill, Dundee in 1958. As we gaze upon this aerial view, our eyes are immediately drawn to the bustling mill and its towering chimney that dominate the landscape. The textile industry was at its peak during this time, and the sight of smoke billowing from the chimney serves as a reminder of the city's industrial prowess. Nestled amidst rows of tenement houses, Hawkhill Street stretches out before us like a lifeline connecting communities. These humble yet sturdy dwellings housed hardworking families who played an integral role in shaping Dundee's history. The jute industry thrived here, with workers laboring tirelessly within these walls to produce fine jute products that were exported worldwide. Beyond Hawkhill Street lies Perth Road, another artery pulsating with activity and commerce. This thoroughfare served as a vital link between different parts of Angus County and beyond. It witnessed countless journeys undertaken by locals going about their daily lives or venturing further afield for work or leisure. As we reflect on this snapshot frozen in time, it is important to appreciate not just the physical structures depicted but also the stories they hold within their walls. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when industries flourished and communities thrived against all odds. Let it serve as a testament to the resilience and spirit of those who called Hawkhill home during this transformative period in Scotland's history.
