EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of a winkle stall in the seaside town of Brighton, Sussex, England during the 1960s. The image shows a long queue of eager customers, some with broad smiles and others with determined expressions, all waiting their turn to purchase the local delicacy. Winkles, a type of small edible clam, are a popular seafood dish in Brighton, traditionally eaten with a pin to extract them from their shells. The stall, adorned with colorful signs and baskets brimming with fresh winkles, is manned by a portly vendor, dressed in a white apron and a broad-brimmed hat. He deftly shovels winkles into paper cones for his customers, who are mostly dressed in casual summer attire, reflecting the laid-back atmosphere of the seaside town. The scene is a testament to the simple pleasure of sharing a communal food experience, as well as the enduring appeal of traditional British seaside traditions. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating snapshot of everyday life in Brighton during the mid-1960s. The obesity of some of the customers adds to the authenticity of the scene, making it a compelling and engaging photograph that transports us back in time.
