EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the indomitable spirit of Marcella Claxton, a survivor and victim of the notorious Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe. Taken in the 1980s, during a dark chapter in British history, this image showcases a telephone box in Oakwood Leeds that became both a lifeline and hiding place for Claxton. In an act of sheer bravery and determination, Claxton crawled to this very spot after being attacked by Sutcliffe. With immense courage, she dialed for help from within these walls that had witnessed her unimaginable ordeal. This photograph serves as a testament to her resilience and unwavering strength amidst unspeakable horror. The haunting significance of this location is further emphasized by its role as Claxton's sanctuary when Sutcliffe himself came searching for her. Within these cramped confines, she found solace and temporary safety while evading her relentless attacker. Captured by photographer Varley Andrew, this image not only documents an important moment in history but also pays tribute to all victims who have suffered at the hands of violence. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of darkness, there are individuals like Marcella Claxton who refuse to be silenced or broken. As we reflect upon this poignant photograph from Memory Lane Prints, let us honor those who have endured such atrocities with compassion and empathy while striving towards creating a world free from fear and violence.
