Billboard Battlefield - A snapshot of the political frenzy engulfing Hull's tallest flats in preparation for the 1964 General Election. As workmen tirelessly hustle to complete the towering structures, two major political parties engage in a fierce battle for billboard supremacy. The Conservative and Labour parties have seized every available space to stake their claim and bicker over who deserves credit for these monumental achievements. Amidst the scaffolding and cranes, this photograph captures a pivotal moment in history where politics takes center stage on construction sites. It is not about personalities but rather an intense struggle between ideologies as each party vies for public support. While politicians wage war with words, it is clear that the true victor here is none other than the poster firm responsible for printing these captivating billboards. Their stock has skyrocketed as demand surges from both sides of the political spectrum. Dated September 15th, 1963, this image encapsulates the spirit of industry and labor prevalent during this era. It serves as a testament to how politics can infiltrate even seemingly unrelated domains like construction sites. This historical gem from Memory Lane Prints offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when billboards became battlegrounds and elections were fought not only through debates but also through visual displays of power.
