EDITORS COMMENTS

This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of 1960s London, where the legendary Mr Butty Sugrue once mesmerized audiences as a circus strong man. However, life took an unexpected turn for Mr Sugrue, leading him to become the esteemed publican of Courage's Admiral Nelson public house in Carlton Vale, Kilburn. In this remarkable image captured on the 18th of October 1965, we witness Mr Sugrue showcasing his extraordinary strength by holding back a motorbike running at full throttle with nothing but his teeth. The sheer determination etched on his face is awe-inspiring as he effortlessly defies gravity and showcases his unparalleled power. Such was the magnitude of this feat that Courage Brewery has announced a generous reward of £500 for any publican over the age of 40 in Europe who can replicate similar displays of strength. This challenge not only pays homage to Mr Sugrue's incredible abilities but also serves as a testament to his enduring legacy within the industry. As crowds gather around him in utter amazement, it becomes evident that Mr Sugrue's Irish charm and unwavering spirit have made him an iconic figure in Kilburn. His transformation from circus performer to beloved licensee reflects both resilience and adaptability—a true embodiment of human potential. Bela Zola's evocative photograph encapsulates a moment frozen in time—an emblematic representation of strength, determination, and the indomitable spirit that resides within each.
