EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from 1968, we see a flock of turkeys anxiously awaiting their fate at the Christmas Turkey Auction held at Reading Cattle Market in Great Knollys Street. As Christmas eve unfolds, these plump birds stand side by side, feathers ruffled and eyes filled with anticipation. The bustling atmosphere of the cattle market is palpable as buyers and sellers gather to partake in this annual tradition. With the hammer poised high above them, these turkeys symbolize both the joyous spirit of the holiday season and the somber reality that they are destined for our dinner tables. This snapshot transports us back to an era when local markets played a vital role in communities across England. The aroma of roasted chestnuts fills the air while shoppers hurriedly search for their perfect centerpiece for Christmas dinner. These turkeys represent more than just food; they embody cherished traditions passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how much has changed over time. Yet, some things remain constant – like gathering around a festive table with loved ones to share a delicious meal during Christmastime. Staff RR's photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes feelings of nostalgia and gratitude for simpler times gone by.
