The Shrove Tuesday Jiff Lemons Pancake Race in Clayton Street, Newcastle on 21st February 1979 captures the essence of a cherished British tradition. This vibrant print showcases a large group of people, spanning across generations, eagerly participating in this exciting and competitive event. The image depicts the true spirit of challenge and camaraderie as individuals clutch their frying pans tightly while racing towards the finish line. The air is filled with laughter and anticipation as pancakes soar through the air, skillfully flipped by determined participants. This snapshot from the 1970s offers a glimpse into UK social history, showcasing how customs and traditions have evolved over time.
