EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Teesside Archive, we are transported back to the summer of 1983. The image captures a group of unemployed youngsters from the Bishopsgarth Youth and Community Centre as they dedicate their afternoon to a noble cause - clearing rubbish from the beck that runs between the Bishopsgarth estate and Hardwick in Stockton. With determination etched on their faces, these young individuals embody the spirit of community and youth activism. Clad in 1980s attire, they carry black and white bags filled with discarded waste, symbolizing their commitment to keeping Britain tidy. This powerful snapshot not only showcases the resilience of these youngsters but also highlights the importance of community projects during challenging times. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with unemployment, these individuals found purpose by coming together for a common goal: improving their local environment. The photograph is more than just an archival piece; it represents hope, unity, and empowerment. It encapsulates an era where campaigns like "Keep Britain Tidy" were at the forefront of social consciousness. Through this image, we witness how young people can make a difference when given opportunities to contribute positively to society. Teesside Archive's Memory Lane Prints offer us glimpses into our shared history while reminding us that change begins at grassroots levels - within our communities.
