EDITORS COMMENTS
Signing for wages on the old sandstone block, North Hylton captures a poignant moment in history when an age-old custom came to an end. This photo print, taken on the 15th of March 1930, transports us back to a time where traditions and customs were deeply ingrained in society. In this snapshot of the past, we witness a group of men gathered around the weathered sandstone block, eagerly awaiting their hard-earned wages. Dressed in typical fashion of the 1930s - with sturdy boots and fashionable shoes - these individuals represent a bygone era where manual labor was at its peak. The image not only showcases their attire but also highlights the significance of this unique tradition. For years, signing for wages on this very block had been an integral part of life in North Hylton. However, as Durham County Council took over road functions during that period, it marked the end of an era. As we delve into this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that every picture tells a story. It serves as a visual reminder that our world is constantly evolving; old customs giving way to new practices. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and honor those who paved the way for progress.
