EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Alfred Markey, we are transported back to the bustling King George Dock in Hull during March 1965. The image showcases two hardworking individuals, Mr Harry Kelsey (51) on the right and Mr J Watson (49) on the left, who epitomize the spirit of dedication and perseverance that defined this era. The dockyard serves as a backdrop for their portrait, with its towering cranes and sprawling industrial landscape symbolizing the heart of East Yorkshire's fishing industry. It is evident from their weathered faces and worn-out clothing that these men have spent countless hours laboring in pursuit of their livelihoods. Their presence evokes a sense of camaraderie as they stand side by side, united in their shared commitment to honest work. Their hands tell stories of resilience and strength earned through years spent hauling fish from sea to shore. Markey's skillful composition captures not only the physicality of manual labor but also hints at the pride these men took in their profession. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when Hull was at its peak as one of Britain's major fishing ports. As we gaze upon this poignant print from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of an era long gone but not forgotten – an era where hard work fueled communities like Kingston upon Hull while shaping lives such as those led by Mr Harry Kelsey and Mr J Watson.
