EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Birmingham in August 1957. The image showcases two remarkable individuals who possess an intimate knowledge of the hidden secrets that lie beneath our feet - Edward Hinks and George Batty, both dedicated sewermen. Dressed in their protective clothing and sturdy boots, these men fearlessly navigate the labyrinthine underground world of sewers. Their commitment to maintaining the city's vital infrastructure is evident as they work tirelessly to ensure smooth operations below ground level. The photograph captures a sense of camaraderie between Edward and George, emphasizing their shared experiences and deep understanding of this dark realm. It serves as a reminder that while life above may be filled with hustle and bustle, there exists an entirely different universe just beneath our footsteps. This snapshot from the 1950s encapsulates not only the era's fashion trends but also highlights the unsung heroes who dedicate themselves to often overlooked tasks for public welfare. As we admire this historical image, let us appreciate these brave men for their invaluable contributions in keeping our cities functioning smoothly even when hidden from view.
