EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stark contrast between old and new in Newcastle's Elswick Dene. Standing proudly amidst a sea of cranes, scaffolding, and construction, The Church Army Home appears diminutive compared to the towering high rise flats that now dominate the cityscape. It is September 9th, 1960 - a time when urban development was rapidly reshaping communities across the UK. The image evokes a sense of melancholy as it portrays the changing face of housing in Britain during this era. The once peaceful surroundings are now overshadowed by these imposing tower blocks, casting a gloomy shadow over what used to be familiar homes for many. Intriguingly, amidst this concrete jungle stands a solitary gardener tending to his plants with determination and resilience. His presence serves as a poignant reminder of nature's enduring beauty even in the midst of such grim surroundings. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we cannot help but feel both captivated and saddened by its depiction. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on how societal progress can sometimes come at the expense of cherished landmarks and community spirit. This photograph is not just about buildings; it tells a story about social change and challenges our perception of progress. It invites us to contemplate how our cities have evolved over time while reminding us never to forget their pasts or those who called them home.
