EDITORS COMMENTS
For generations, a cherished tradition comes to an end. In this print from the 1970s, we witness a poignant moment as girls in their final term at Newcastle's Church High School bid farewell to their iconic uniform bonnets. Standing on a bridge overlooking the majestic Tyne River, these young women prepare to fling their beloved hats into the flowing waters below. This symbolic act marks the passing of an era as the school gradually phases out this time-honored custom. The bonnet, once an emblem of pride and identity for generations of students, now becomes a relic of bygone days. As each girl releases her hat into the river's embrace, she lets go not only of a physical object but also of countless memories and shared experiences that have shaped her journey through education. The image captures both nostalgia and anticipation for what lies ahead. These girls stand on the precipice between youth and adulthood, ready to embark on new paths beyond school walls. The bridge serves as a metaphorical threshold connecting past and future—a testament to resilience and growth. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this photograph invites us to reflect upon our own customs and traditions that evolve with time. It reminds us that change is inevitable but also highlights how certain rituals can leave indelible imprints on our hearts.
