EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the resilience and determination of L. A. C. R. Holmes, a resident of 44 Buckingham Street in Moss Side, Manchester during January 1946. In the midst of a coal shortage that plagued the city, Mr. Holmes can be seen standing patiently in a long queue outside the Manchester Gaythorn Gas works every morning during his leave. The image portrays an era when industry and its workers were facing numerous challenges, yet individuals like Mr. Holmes remained committed to their daily routines despite adversity. The photograph not only showcases men and women from all walks of life waiting alongside each other but also highlights the scarcity that prevailed at that time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a poignant reminder of how people came together to endure hardships during this period in history. It is through images like these that we gain insight into the struggles faced by our ancestors while appreciating their strength and perseverance. This remarkable print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era where queues for essential resources were commonplace, shedding light on both the individual experiences within communities such as Moss Side and broader societal issues surrounding coal shortages in post-war Britain.
