EDITORS COMMENTS
Newcastle's vibrant student community comes alive in this print from 1961. As the city celebrated rag week, a popular tradition among students, the Haymarket was transformed into a hub of excitement and mischief. The image captures a moment of sheer exuberance as groups of students gather around pianos, ready to unleash their creative chaos. In an act that perfectly embodies the rebellious spirit of youth during the swinging sixties, these daring students embark on an unconventional mission - breaking pianos! Their mischievous antics draw crowds who are equally enthralled by their audacity and infectious energy. The atmosphere is electric with laughter and cheers echoing through the streets. Rag week was not just about pranks; it also served as a platform for fundraising activities organized by students for charitable causes. This playful yet purposeful event allowed Newcastle's young minds to showcase their creativity while making a positive impact on society. Preserved through time, this remarkable photograph transports us back to an era where individuality thrived amidst camaraderie. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of Newcastle's student community and its ability to push boundaries fearlessly. This Memory Lane Print offers us a glimpse into an unforgettable chapter in Newcastle's history – one filled with youthful rebellion, boundless enthusiasm, and unbreakable bonds.
