EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Mick Sconey, a beloved local figure in Middlesbrough during the 1970s. The image, taken during a time when the Teesside town was undergoing significant industrial and social change, presents Mick in a casual setting, clad in a denim jacket and jeans, with a robin perched on his shoulder. The presence of the bird adds a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to the scene, as if to emphasize the connection between nature and industry that defined Middlesbrough during this era. Mick Sconey was a well-known character in the community, known for his love of animals and his affinity for robin birds in particular. He was often seen wandering the streets of Middlesbrough with a menagerie of creatures, from dogs and cats to foxes and badgers. His friendly demeanor and unique persona endeared him to locals, who would stop and chat with him as he went about his day. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of Middlesbrough during the 1970s. The town was a hub of industry, with steelworks, chemical plants, and shipyards dominating the landscape. Yet amidst the hustle and bustle of this working-class community, there were moments of beauty and connection that endured. Mick Sconey and his robin are a testament to the resilience and warmth of the people who called Middlesbrough home during this period. This photograph, with its timeless quality and evocative subject matter, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the history and culture of Middlesbrough and the North East of England during the 1970s.
