EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1956, where this print takes us inside a bustling fish and chip shop in Newcastle. As customers eagerly gather around the counter, their faces reveal a mix of surprise and contemplation as they come to terms with an impending price increase. The sign prominently displayed announces that the beloved local delicacy of fish will now cost 9 old pennies, while a generous portion of chips will set them back by 6d. In this snapshot from the past, we witness not only a moment frozen in time but also glimpse into the daily lives and concerns of working-class individuals during the mid-20th century. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as patrons engage in animated conversations about this unexpected change. Perhaps some are calculating whether they can still afford their usual Friday night treat or debating whether it's worth sacrificing another small luxury for these delectable morsels. The image captures more than just monetary matters; it encapsulates an era when simple pleasures like enjoying piping hot fish and chips held great significance within communities. It serves as a reminder of how food has always been intertwined with our social fabric, bringing people together through shared experiences and traditions. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this remarkable photograph invites us to reflect on our own relationship with food, nostalgia for simpler times, and the enduring charm of cherished culinary delights.
