EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Gould Freelance, we are transported back to August 1965 in London. The image showcases a heartwarming and somewhat comical scene at Bramdean Riding School. A member of the stables is seen atop his majestic horse, making a farewell call to none other than Wally Simmons, the owner of the local betting shop. As the riding school prepares for its relocation to Bexley, this unexpected encounter between two seemingly unrelated worlds adds an element of humor and charm to the photograph. It highlights how even in bustling cities like London during the swinging 60s, unique connections can be formed between people from different walks of life. The juxtaposition of gambling and equestrianism creates an unusual yet delightful atmosphere within this snapshot. The horse's gentle gaze towards Wally Simmons suggests a bond that transcends societal boundaries and reminds us that animals have their own way of understanding human interactions. Gould Freelance has masterfully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also a glimpse into the vibrant tapestry of everyday life in mid-20th century London. This photograph serves as a reminder that sometimes it's these unexpected encounters that leave lasting impressions on our memories and bring smiles to our faces decades later.
