Viking v Anglo Saxon - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the 26th of August, 1973, where an extraordinary sight unfolded at South Shields. In this print by NCJ from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a unique weekend activity that brings history to life – a Viking battle re-enactment. Amidst the clash of swords and shields, two men stand out amongst the crowd. One is dressed as a fearsome Viking warrior, while his opponent embodies an Anglo Saxon fighter. The intensity of their expressions reveals their dedication to recreating this ancient conflict with utmost authenticity. However, what truly captivates our attention is the infectious smile on the face of the Viking warrior. Despite engaging in a simulated war game, he radiates pure joy and enthusiasm for this unusual pastime. His genuine delight serves as a reminder that hobbies can transport us to different eras and allow us to experience moments otherwise lost in time. The photograph captures not only these two individuals but also sheds light on how leisure activities have evolved over decades. It showcases how people find pleasure in immersing themselves in historical re-enactments during their free time – embracing costumes and weapons reminiscent of long-forgotten battles. As we gaze upon this snapshot from four decades ago, it sparks curiosity about those involved: who were they? What motivated them? Regardless of age or background, they shared a common passion for reliving history through combat simulation.
