EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the laid-back atmosphere of Goodwood Racecourse in West Sussex, England, during the 1970s. The image features a woman in a stylish hat, sitting comfortably in a folding wooden chair, engrossed in a book. Nearby, a soldier in uniform, also dressed for relaxation, leans against a tent, sipping a cool beer from a glass. The serene scene is set against the backdrop of the racecourse, with the grandstand and track visible in the distance. Goodwood Racecourse, established in 1802, has a rich history and is renowned for its horseracing events. However, this photograph showcases an alternative side to the venue, where visitors come to unwind and enjoy the picturesque surroundings. The presence of the soldier adds an intriguing element to the scene, suggesting that this was a popular destination for military personnel during their downtime. The 1970s were a time of carefree living and the image reflects the spirit of the era, with people taking the time to relax and appreciate simple pleasures. The use of wooden chairs, hats, and bicycles further emphasizes the rustic charm of the scene. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era and the simple joys of a day spent at the races.
