EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1940s, capturing a unique moment in the Newcastle store of Bainbridge & Co. It was during a power cut in 1947 when haircuts were being carried out under rather challenging circumstances. The image depicts a group of determined hairdressers skillfully maneuvering their way through the darkness, armed with nothing but candles to light their path. The scene is both nostalgic and intriguing, offering a glimpse into an era where electricity was not always readily available. Despite this obstacle, these talented individuals continue to provide their services with unwavering dedication. Their commitment to their craft shines through as they work diligently amidst flickering candlelight. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of people during difficult times. It also offers valuable insight into UK social history, highlighting how everyday tasks were affected by external factors such as power cuts. Captured by NCJ for Memory Lane Prints, this image invites us to reflect on our own reliance on modern conveniences and appreciate the ingenuity displayed by those who came before us. It reminds us that even in moments of adversity, human determination can prevail and inspire future generations.
