EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a cherished tradition that took place on the 8th of December, 1964 - a delightful picnic lunch in the car park at Twickenham. As one of the most anticipated events of the year, this gathering was held just before the highly-anticipated Oxford v Cambridge Varsity rugby match. The image showcases a vibrant scene from the 1960s, with classic cars lining up and families spreading out their checkered blankets. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as rugby enthusiasts indulge in delicious food and refreshing drinks amidst an unconventional setting. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and joy that permeated these pre-match picnics. Transported back to this bygone era, we witness how people embraced simple pleasures like sharing meals together while immersing themselves in thrilling sports rivalries. The photograph not only documents an event but also serves as a time capsule for cultural practices surrounding both transportation and leisure activities during that period. Taken by Eyles, this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints offers us a glimpse into history through its portrayal of cars, food and drink, picnic traditions, rugby union matches, and transport systems prevalent at that time. It evokes nostalgia for those who experienced such moments firsthand while providing younger generations with an opportunity to appreciate past customs and celebrations.
