EDITORS COMMENTS
Ripon, Sounding the Curfew, circa 1938, Val Doone for The Travel Association In this evocative photograph, we are transported back in time to the historic city of Ripon in Yorkshire, England during the 1930s. The image captures the traditional custom of sounding the curfew, a nightly ritual that has been a part of Ripon's rich heritage for centuries. The scene is set on a quiet, dimly lit street, with the sound of a lone man's horn echoing through the air. Dressed in a heavy coat and holding a large, brass horn, the man stands determinedly at the city gates, ready to signal the end of the day. The sepia tones of the photograph add to the nostalgic atmosphere, creating a sense of timelessness and tradition. Ripon, a charming market town in the north of England, has a long and fascinating history. Founded by Saint Wilfrid in the 7th century, it is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the country. Over the centuries, the town has been shaped by its unique customs and traditions, many of which continue to be celebrated today. The sounding of the curfew is just one such tradition, a reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and community and tradition were at the heart of daily life. This photograph, captured by the skilled lens of Val Doone for The Travel Association, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the enduring power of tradition and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
