EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures a poignant moment in the social history of Askew Road, Gateshead. The derelict housing that lines the street stands as a haunting reminder of an era marred by poverty and neglect. In stark contrast to the dilapidated surroundings, a group of people patiently wait at a bus stop, their expressions reflecting the hardships they endure daily. The image speaks volumes about the living conditions faced by many during the 1970s in this area. The crumbling houses with broken windows and overgrown gardens tell tales of forgotten dreams and lost hope. It is impossible not to feel a sense of sadness when confronted with such scenes. Amidst this desolation, however, there is resilience evident in those waiting for transportation. They stand together, united in their struggle against adversity. Their presence at the bus stop signifies determination and perseverance despite challenging circumstances. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that behind every abandoned building lies stories untold; lives affected by economic hardship and societal neglect. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in addressing issues surrounding poverty and housing inequality. NCJ's capture freezes this moment forever, allowing us to bear witness to an important chapter in our collective memory - one that should never be forgotten or repeated again.
