EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of London's Dover Castle Public House in 1979. The focal point of the image is none other than the legendary racehorse Red Rum, who effortlessly commands attention amidst a bustling crowd of pub goers. Red Rum, known for his remarkable success in horse racing, stands tall and proud as if aware of his own fame. His sleek coat glistens under the dimly lit pub lights, while jockeys and enthusiasts alike gather around him with awe-struck expressions on their faces. It is a rare sight indeed to witness such an iconic sporting figure within the walls of a traditional public house. The photograph perfectly captures both the excitement and camaraderie that surrounded horse racing during this era. As patrons engage in animated conversations about past races and future bets, one can almost hear their cheers reverberating through the air. Bill Cross skillfully immortalizes this moment in time by freezing it within a single frame. Through his lens, he transports us to an era where horse racing was not just a sport but also an integral part of British culture. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Red Rum's enduring legacy and pays homage to those who gathered at Dover Castle Pub to revel in his greatness.
