EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a bygone era, as riders and hounds gather outside the Castle Hotel in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales for the annual Boxing Day Hunt in 1891. The Castle Square, with its cobblestone streets and historic buildings, serves as the picturesque backdrop for this traditional Victorian pursuit. The huntsmen, dressed in their distinctive red coats and tall boots, prepare their hounds for the chase, while their horses, with steam rising from their breath in the crisp winter air, await their command. The sense of community and camaraderie is palpable as the riders exchange greetings and final preparations before setting off in pursuit of the fox. The Castle Hotel, with its ornate facade and grandeur, adds an air of elegance and tradition to the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and leisurely pursuits of the 1890s in South Wales, a time when the Boxing Day Hunt was a cherished annual event in the local calendar.
