Intense Rivalry and Suspicion Fill the Air at Reading Cattle Market's Christmas Turkey Auction
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black-and-white print captured on Christmas Eve in 1968, we are transported back to a time of fierce competition and unwavering desire for the perfect centerpiece of every festive dinner table - the Christmas turkey. The bustling atmosphere of Reading Cattle Market in Great Knollys Street comes alive as rival bidders lock eyes, exchanging knowing looks that speak volumes about their confidence and determination. The image showcases two mature individuals, one man and one woman, both exuding an air of suspicion as they engage in a silent battle for poultry supremacy. Their expressions reveal years of experience navigating these high-stakes auctions where meat is king. Each bidder seems to possess an unyielding drive to secure the finest bird available, ensuring their family's satisfaction during this cherished holiday season. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into England's customs and traditions surrounding food procurement during the 1960s. It serves as a reminder of how livestock sales played an integral role in our communities' celebrations, with local shops relying on such events to meet customers' demands. As we delve into this intriguing scene from Memory Lane Prints' collection by Staff RR, it becomes evident that beyond mere commerce lies a world filled with competitive spirits and unspoken alliances formed within these hallowed auction halls.
