EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Hartlepool Quay of the 1970s, where the salty sea air was filled with the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore and the cries of the fishermen selling their fresh catches. In this evocative photograph, two local men, Robin and Dale, are seen proudly displaying their latest haul of succulent crabs, freshly pulled from the North Sea. The crabs, still alive and wriggling in their baskets, are a testament to the hard work and dedication of these skilled fishermen. The quay at Hartlepool was once a hive of activity, with boats coming and going, nets being mended, and fish being sold to eager buyers. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a way of life that has largely disappeared. The men's clothing, the simple wooden crates, and the rustic wooden quay all add to the sense of history and tradition. The 1970s were a time of change for Hartlepool and the fishing industry. The introduction of factory trawlers and the decline of small-scale, traditional fishing methods meant that many fishermen were forced to find new ways to make a living. This photograph is a reminder of a time when fishing was a way of life, and the quay was the heart of the community. Today, Hartlepool Quay has been transformed into a popular tourist destination, with modern marinas, shops, and restaurants. But for those who remember the 1970s, this photograph brings back memories of a simpler time, when the rhythm of the tides and the catch of the day ruled the day.
