EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the centuries-old tradition of Cheese Rolling at Coopers Hill in Gloucestershire, England. Dating back over 400 years, this Whit-Monday ceremony was originally held to preserve the rights of common as a grazing-ground for locals. However, by the 1950s, it had evolved into a popular and somewhat bizarre event that attracted up to 15,000 spectators.
In this snapshot from the past, we see a large crowd gathered on the steep hillside, eagerly awaiting the start of the hazardous cheese rolling competition. The gradient of the hill adds an extra element of danger to an already risky event. It is no wonder that safety measures were put in place by organizations such as the R.A.C., who had to supervise parking due to the overwhelming number of attendees.
Today, Cheese Rolling at Coopers Hill continues to draw crowds from far and wide, causing traffic access problems and safety concerns for organizers. Despite these challenges, this historical ceremony remains a beloved tradition that showcases Britain's unique customs and cultural heritage. This print serves as a reminder of a time when communities came together to celebrate their rights and enjoy some truly eccentric entertainment.
