EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the ancient ceremony of Beating the Bounds in Llantrisant on 1st June 1968. The image captures a moment filled with excitement and anticipation as freshly minted coins are joyfully flung into the crowd by Eddie Thomas, a dedicated member of Llantrisant Town Trust. Surrounded by a lush hedge, which adds an element of natural beauty to the scene, Eddie's generous gesture creates a frenzy among the gathered crowd. People eagerly reach out their hands, hoping to catch one of these precious tokens that symbolize prosperity and good fortune. The atmosphere is electric as laughter and cheers fill the air. This unique tradition brings together both young and old, uniting them in celebration of their town's history and heritage. It serves as a reminder of how customs passed down through generations can still hold great significance today. This snapshot from the 1960s not only encapsulates an age-old ritual but also highlights the power that communal events have in fostering unity within communities. It is moments like these that create lasting memories for those fortunate enough to witness or participate in such cherished traditions. Preserved by Western Mail Archive, this remarkable photograph invites us to reflect on our own connections to our hometowns and encourages us to embrace similar customs that bind us together as one community.
