EDITORS COMMENTS
Joe Horrocks (l) of the Labour Party and Fred Gartside (r) Chairman at Moss Side Inquiry, at Manchester City Social Club, August 1981. This powerful print captures a significant moment in history during the tumultuous summer of 1981. Joe Horrocks from the Labour Party and Fred Gartside, Chairman at Moss Side Inquiry, stand side by side in deep conversation. Their expressions reflect the gravity of the situation they are discussing. In July that year, over 1,000 young people besieged the police station in Moss Side, Manchester. The tension escalated when a policeman was shot with a crossbow bolt through his leg. What followed was three nights of rioting that lasted for an exhausting 72 hours. Streets such as Princess Road and Clarendon Road became scenes of burning and looting as chaos engulfed these areas including Rusholme. The photograph serves as a reminder of those intense days when lawlessness seemed to prevail. It also highlights how crucial it is for individuals like Joe Horrocks and Fred Gartside to come together to address such crises head-on. Ultimately, on July 11th, order was restored when Manchester police took decisive action against the rioters using their full riot squad gear - making them unique among British forces at that time. This image from Memory Lane Prints preserves this pivotal moment in history; reminding us all about the importance of unity and collaboration amidst times of turmoil.
