EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Westminster Morris men performing their dance, not on the village green but in a shopping centre in suburbia" we are transported back to the vibrant era of 1950s London. The image captures a group of adult men, aged between 30 and 39 years, dressed in traditional costumes and hats, as they engage in the age-old tradition of folk dancing. Set against the backdrop of an inner borough shopping center, this unexpected location adds an intriguing twist to their performance. It is June 20th, 1955, and these spirited dancers have taken it upon themselves to bring their lively routine to the heart of suburban life. Spectators gather around them with curiosity and awe as they witness this unique spectacle amidst bustling city streets. The attention to detail is evident from the masks adorning some of the performers' faces while others hold onto a horse prop symbolizing ancient customs and traditions. This snapshot encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone eras and a celebration of cultural heritage that transcends time. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints staff, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an enchanting moment where tradition meets modernity. It serves as a reminder that even within urban landscapes like London's inner boroughs, there exists space for cherished customs to thrive and captivate audiences young and old alike.
