EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling North Shields Fish Quay in September 1936. It showcases a significant moment in history - the herring harvest, where Scottish fishergirls are diligently packing herrings for export. In this snapshot of the past, we witness a group of hardworking women immersed in their occupation as they contribute to the thriving fishing industry of the time. Their skilled hands swiftly handle each herring with care and precision, ensuring that only the finest quality fish make it into crates bound for foreign shores. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie among these fishergirls, united by their shared purpose and dedication to their craft. Despite being faced with long hours and physically demanding work, their determination shines through as they play an integral role in sustaining this vital industry. As we delve into this glimpse of history, we are reminded of the immense contributions made by individuals like these Scottish fishergirls who often went unnoticed but played an essential part in shaping our society. This photograph serves as a tribute to all those unsung heroes who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes. With its timeless appeal and rich historical significance, this print is not just a piece of art but also a window into an era when women were breaking barriers within traditionally male-dominated industries.
