EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1970s in Brandon, County Durham. The image captures a remarkable moment during local elections when Ernest Brown, a prospective councillor with great determination and ingenuity, harnessed the power of horses to rally voters. With an air of nostalgia surrounding this snapshot in time, it is impossible not to wonder what Dolly the horse thought about her unexpected role in politics. As she dutifully pulls along a cart filled with enthusiastic constituents, one can only imagine the mix of curiosity and bemusement that must have crossed her equine mind. This photograph serves as a testament to the resourcefulness and community spirit that defined grassroots politics during that era. It encapsulates both the simplicity and charm of political campaigns before modern technology took center stage. Ernest Brown's unconventional approach demonstrates his commitment to connecting with voters on a personal level while embracing traditional methods. As we delve into history through this evocative image, let us reflect upon how times have changed since those spirited elections of yesteryear. This print reminds us that even amidst progress and innovation, there will always be room for whimsical moments like these – where horse power becomes synonymous with people power.
