EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a moment frozen in time, this print takes us back to the bustling streets of Newcastle in 1965. The Green Market, known for its vibrant display of fresh fruits and vegetables, stands eerily quiet amidst a strike that had paralyzed the city. A powerful image that speaks volumes about the resilience and determination of the working class. In March 1965, a group of 150 porters took to the streets demanding fair treatment and better working conditions. Their protest halted the delivery of essential produce to The Green Market, leaving its once lively stalls empty and devoid of life. Lorries laden with colorful crates remained parked as traders anxiously awaited their arrival. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era when street scenes were filled with activity; where hardworking individuals dedicated themselves to providing nourishment for their community. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every market stall lies countless stories of struggle and perseverance. The black-and-white composition evokes a sense of nostalgia, allowing viewers to reflect on how far we have come since those tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this historic photograph by NCJ (not associated with any company), let it serve as an enduring testament to the power of unity and solidarity among workers fighting for their rights.
