EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a bygone era, capturing a moment in time when an age-old tradition was revived in Durham City. In 1914, this cherished custom had sadly lapsed, but here we witness its glorious return during the 1940s. The image showcases the grandeur of this revival as judges make their way from Castle to the Assize Courts in a splendid coach drawn by four majestic grey horses. The sight is truly awe-inspiring; it transports us to a world where elegance and tradition reign supreme. As the coach gracefully moves through the streets, its guard blows his horn with authority and purpose. This resounding sound serves as both a warning and an announcement of their arrival, commanding attention from all who hear it. Traffic halts momentarily as pedestrians pause to admire this remarkable spectacle. In addition to the regal procession itself, our eyes are drawn to other details that enrich this snapshot of history. A smartly dressed policeman stands nearby, ensuring order is maintained amidst the excitement. The costumes worn by those involved further emphasize the significance of this occasion. Preserved for posterity by NCJ's lens, this photograph encapsulates not only an extraordinary event but also captures a sense of nostalgia for customs long past. It reminds us that traditions have immense power – they connect us with our heritage while inspiring future generations to honor and cherish our shared history.
