EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant Liverpool Civic Week in 1924. The event, which took place at Wembley, was a grand celebration of the city's rich heritage and community spirit. One particular highlight of the proceedings was a mesmerizing demonstration of weight pulling by Liverpool carthorses. The image captures a heartwarming moment between the Lady Mayoress, Mrs Rushton, and one of these magnificent horses. With tenderness and care, she is seen feeding the gentle giant sugar as a gesture of appreciation for its hard work and dedication. The horse stands tall and proud against the backdrop of an enthusiastic crowd who have gathered to witness this awe-inspiring display. This snapshot not only showcases the strength and beauty of these majestic creatures but also symbolizes their integral role in Liverpool's history as reliable companions in transportation and trade during that era. It serves as a reminder of how animals played an essential part in shaping our cities' development. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from nearly a century ago, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when communities came together to celebrate their shared identity. It reminds us that even amidst progress and change, honoring our past traditions can bring us closer as we continue to build upon our collective legacy.
