EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the larger-than-life figure of W.P. Fairless, the publican of the Castle Howard Ox Hotel in York, England, in 1935. Weighing an impressive 190 kg (30 stone), Fairless was a well-known and beloved character in the community. His portly frame and jovial expression are a testament to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the pub, where locals and travelers alike would gather for a pint of ale, a hearty meal, or a good conversation. The Castle Howard Ox Hotel, with its historic charm and grandeur, provided the perfect setting for Fairless to welcome his patrons with open arms. The image of him pulling a pint of beer with ease, despite his size, is a symbol of his strength and dedication to his role as a publican. The Ox Hotel, known for its delicious food and cozy ambiance, was a staple in the York community and a favorite destination for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Fairless's story is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of public houses and the important role they played in the social fabric of communities. His obesity, while a notable aspect of his appearance, should not overshadow the warmth and hospitality he brought to the Castle Howard Ox Hotel. This photograph is a reminder of the human connection that can be found in the simplest of places, and the enduring power of a good pint and a friendly smile.
