EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see Railway clerk John Freeman proudly holding his extraordinary one-pound note. This particular banknote is a true rarity, with odds of one in twenty million - an astonishing find indeed! What makes it even more remarkable is the absence of any serial numbers, making it truly unique. Mr. Freeman, who diligently serves as a booking clerk in Oxford, decided to take his exceptional discovery to two local banks for verification. To his delight and amazement, both institutions certified the note as a genuine pound sterling bill. The date imprinted on the photograph reads 24th September 1962 - a time when the world was experiencing significant economic shifts and financial transformations. The Bank of England stood at the forefront of these changes, ensuring stability and trust in currency circulation. This image from the 1960s captures not only Mr. Freeman's pride but also represents an era marked by cash transactions and traditional banking systems. It reminds us of how money played an essential role in driving economies forward during that period. George Greenwell skillfully captured this momentous occasion through his lens for Memory Lane Prints. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where every pound held its own story and value - especially when it defied all odds like Mr. Freeman's extraordinary banknote without any serial numbers.
