EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a peculiar moment in time. It captures a group of pool players at the Smelters Arms, a cozy pub nestled in Castleside Co. Durham during the year 1979. However, what makes this scene truly unique is the presence of an unexpected guest – a coffin placed right alongside the billiard table. Intriguingly, it turns out that this unusual sight was all for a good cause. The landlord of the bar, Colin Heslop, decided to lie inside the coffin as part of a charity event. This act not only raised eyebrows but also sparked curiosity and amusement among both patrons and passersby. The atmosphere in that dimly lit room must have been filled with laughter and lighthearted banter as these pool enthusiasts continued their game while sharing space with Colin's temporary resting place. The juxtaposition between leisurely gameplay and such an unconventional prop adds an element of bizarre humor to this snapshot from yesteryear. This photograph encapsulates not only the spirit of camaraderie found within public houses during those times but also showcases how people were willing to go above and beyond for charitable causes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst everyday activities like playing pool, there is always room for creativity and philanthropy. As we gaze upon this intriguing image today, we can't help but appreciate its uniqueness – reminding us that sometimes life's most memorable moments are born out of unexpected circumstances.
