EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 5th of June, 1970, capturing a significant moment in Thornaby's history - the demolition of the Cleveland Flour Mill. The image showcases the raw power and destruction as this once bustling building is reduced to rubble. The derelict structure stands tall against the backdrop of Stockton-on-Tees, its empty windows and crumbling walls telling tales of a bygone era. This mill was once at the heart of industry, witnessing countless hours of hard work and dedication. Now, it succumbs to progress. Located on the banks of River Tees, this mill played an integral role in shaping Thornaby's landscape for decades. Its presence was a constant reminder of the town's industrial heritage. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded that change is inevitable; old must make way for new. The photographer skillfully captures both nostalgia and transformation in one frame. We can almost hear echoes of machinery that once filled these halls and feel a sense of loss as they fade away into history. This powerful image serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability while honoring our past. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those days when mills like these were at their peak. As we admire this piece from Staff at Memory Lane Prints, let us remember that photographs hold within them stories waiting to be discovered – stories that connect generations through time and space
