EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beating the bounds - Llantrisant" takes us back to a bygone era, specifically the 1st of June in 1968. In this remarkable snapshot, we witness townspeople courageously wading through a small brook, led by none other than Eddie Thomas himself. This event is part of the ancient custom known as Beating the Bounds. The image transports us to a simpler time when communities celebrated their heritage and preserved their boundaries through symbolic rituals like this one. The participants, dressed in typical 1960s attire, march with determination and unity along the brook's edge. Their faces reflect both concentration and joy as they engage in this age-old tradition. As we delve into this photograph from Memory Lane Prints' Western Mail Archive collection, it becomes clear that there is more than just physical boundary marking taking place here; there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie among these townspeople. Through their shared experience of navigating the brook together under Eddie's guidance, they strengthen their bonds as neighbors and friends. This picture captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes nostalgia for a community deeply rooted in its history. It serves as a reminder of how customs such as Beating the Bounds connect generations across time while preserving local identity.
