In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Great Fair in Coventry on May 29th, 1973. The focal point of the image is none other than the esteemed Lord Mayor Councillor W Sheridan himself, his determined gaze fixed upon the top prize at the rifle range. Dressed in his distinguished chains of office, the Lord Mayor exudes an air of authority and civic pride as he takes aim with precision. Surrounded by a bustling fairground stall filled with excitement and laughter, it becomes evident that this event was not only a celebration but also an opportunity for men to showcase their marksmanship skills. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of customs and entertainment during that era. It serves as a reminder of how fairs were once cherished community gatherings where people could come together to enjoy thrilling rides, delectable treats, and engaging games like this one.
