EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1990s, specifically April 20th, 1998, in Newcastle. The image showcases the air raid shelters in The Side being demolished, marking the end of an era that was deeply intertwined with the city's history. Architect Bill Hopper stands proudly in front of the soon-to-be-demolished structures, capturing a moment frozen in time before work commences. The air raid shelters were a poignant reminder of the Second World War and served as crucial protective spaces for residents during times of intense bombing raids. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back to a period when fear and uncertainty loomed over every corner of society. Bill Hopper's presence adds depth to this visual narrative; his expertise and dedication evident as he prepares for the task at hand. His commitment to preserving historical landmarks like these shelters is commendable and serves as a testament to our collective responsibility towards honoring our past. This image encapsulates not only an architectural transformation but also represents resilience and progress. It reminds us how far we have come since those dark days while urging us never to forget the sacrifices made by previous generations. Through this powerful snapshot captured by NCJ, we are invited on a journey through time - one that evokes emotions ranging from nostalgia to gratitude for those who came before us.
