EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1857, captures the annual tradition of conker collecting in Greenwich Park, London. For three weeks, young boys and youths flocked to the picturesque park, eager to participate in this cherished autumnal pastime. Climbing up the towering chestnut trees, they reached out with long sticks to dislodge the prized conkers, their laughter and chatter filling the crisp autumn air. Some even resorted to using ladders for greater access to the plentiful harvest. Once knocked down, the conkers were swiftly collected and piled into carts, ready to be transported home for various uses. The hard-shelled nuts were not only a popular game, with their smooth interiors used for the traditional conker game, but they were also a valuable food source. The park's keeper, dressed in his traditional attire, looked on with a watchful eye, ensuring the tradition was carried out respectfully and safely. The horse-drawn carts, a common sight in the 1850s, added to the scene's charm and authenticity. This photograph, taken during the 19th century, offers a unique glimpse into a long-standing tradition that connected generations and brought joy to the people of London during the autumn months. The annual conker collecting in Greenwich Park remains a cherished memory of a simpler time, when nature's bounty provided endless entertainment and community spirit.
