EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1937, we witness a centuries-old tradition being upheld at the law courts. The image showcases an intriguing exchange between Mr. A Pickford, the City Solicitor on the left, and Sir George Bonner, the Kings Remembrancer. They are seen engaged in a symbolic act of payment to the Crown for ancient property in Shropshire. The significance of this ceremonial gesture lies in its historical roots that date back 700 years. Each year, as part of their obligation to pay annual quit rents to the Crown, representatives from the city of London Corporation present various items symbolizing their contribution. In this particular instance captured by Planet News photographers, three objects take center stage: a hatchet, bill hook, and faggots. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time between two world wars, it becomes evident that traditions like these offer us glimpses into our rich cultural heritage. This monochrome image not only documents an age-old custom but also serves as a reminder of how societies have evolved over time. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk for future generations to appreciate and learn from, this print encapsulates both history and artistry.
