EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a fairground worker diligently closes the back of a lorry, signaling the final preparations before departure to a new location. The scene transports us back in time to the 1960s, an era of simple pleasures and outdoor entertainment. The fairground, with its colorful tents, thrilling rides, and enticing games, was a beloved escape for families and children. The man in the image, dressed in scruffy and torn clothes, embodies the rugged and tough spirit of the fairground worker. His middle-aged face bears the marks of a life spent outdoors and on the move. His worn clothing, though rough around the edges, speaks of a practicality and resilience that was essential to his line of work. The lorry, with its faded paint and rusted metal, is a testament to the hardships and challenges of transporting the fairground's attractions from one location to another. The worker's meticulous attention to detail as he secures the back of the vehicle underscores the importance of ensuring a safe and secure journey for the precious cargo inside. As the sun begins to set on the fairground, the worker's task is a reminder of the transient nature of this unique form of entertainment. The sounds of laughter and excitement from the nearby rides gradually fade, replaced by the quiet hum of the lorries as they prepare to leave. The image captures a moment of stillness and reflection amidst the chaos and excitement of the fairground, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of a bygone era.
