EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1970s, we see a little boy, clad in an anorak and wearing roller skates, happily rolling down the pavement of Haverton Hill in Teesside. The gritty urban backdrop of the northeastern town is accentuated by the graffiti adorning the walls and buildings, adding a sense of excitement and energy to the scene. The boy's smile and the carefree way he holds his arms out as he skates show the pure joy and freedom of childhood play. Roller skating was a popular pastime during the 1970s, and this image captures the essence of that era. The roller skates, with their bright colors and shiny surfaces, stand out against the gray and weathered surroundings, adding a pop of vibrancy to the image. The graffiti, a hallmark of the urban landscape of the time, adds a sense of grit and authenticity to the photograph. This photograph takes us back to a time when children could be seen playing outside, free from the distractions of modern technology. It's a reminder of the simple pleasures of childhood and the importance of finding joy in the everyday. The image also serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the essence of the 1970s and the unique character of Haverton Hill in Teesside.
