EDITORS COMMENTS
Little Carol Melhuish, of Bracknell, may not be able to talk yet, but her eyes speak volumes. In this print from October 1959, we see the innocence and wonderment of a child on the eve of Bonfire Night. With a gaze filled with curiosity and excitement, Carol seems to be asking her Mummy for fireworks just by that look in her eyes. Her older sister Vanessa, aged 3, stands beside her, sharing in the anticipation. This snapshot captures a timeless moment from the 1950s when Guy Fawkes traditions were still deeply rooted in British culture. As families gathered around bonfires to celebrate and remember the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, children like Carol eagerly awaited the dazzling display of fireworks lighting up the night sky. The image also hints at a sense of community as customs officers ensured safety during these festivities. Their presence reminds us that even amidst joyous celebrations, there is always an element of responsibility. Memory Lane Prints has beautifully preserved this nostalgic piece of history for us to cherish today. It serves as a reminder that some things never change – the awe-inspiring magic experienced by children during special occasions remains constant across generations.
