EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the iconic Aintree racecourse during the 1967 Grand National. Major Gilbert Cotton, the inspector of the course, is seen alongside head bailiff James Cunningham and Mr Bidwell-Topham as they meticulously inspect Becher's Brook, one of the most famous jumps on the course.
The image exudes a sense of tradition and dedication to ensuring the safety and integrity of this prestigious event. The men appear focused and serious, their expertise evident as they assess every detail of the jump that has challenged countless jockeys and horses over the years.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back in time to a bygone era when horse racing was not just a sport, but a way of life for many. The determination etched on their faces speaks volumes about their commitment to upholding the standards set by generations before them.
In this moment frozen in time, we witness not only an inspection of a physical obstacle on a racetrack but also a symbolic representation of perseverance and passion for equestrian sports. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring legacy of events like the Grand National at Aintree.
