EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the early twentieth century - the annual Stock Exchange walk from London to Brighton. In an ambitious attempt to set a new record, forty-nine determined participants are lined up at Westminster, ready to embark on this grueling challenge. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these brave competitors prepare themselves for the long journey ahead. The date is 30th April 1932, a time between two world wars when resilience and determination were paramount. This monochrome image perfectly encapsulates that era of uncertainty and perseverance. As they pass through Streatham, it becomes evident that these walkers are going strong. Their commitment to breaking records shines through their focused expressions and steady strides. Each step brings them closer to their goal, fueled by the desire for personal achievement and perhaps even national pride. It's worth noting that this event holds historical significance beyond its athletic nature. The current open walking record stands at an impressive 8 hours 2 minutes 55 seconds, achieved by T. W Green in 1930 - just two years prior to this photograph being taken. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this Europeana photography gem allows us to glimpse into a different time and witness the indomitable spirit of those who dared to push their physical limits. Let us honor their legacy as we admire this remarkable piece of history captured forever in black and white.
