EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Robert Corfield, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Manchester on October 12th, 1951. The image captures a significant moment in time when beer delivery was still carried out using traditional methods. The focal point of the photo is a magnificent cart pulled by two sturdy dray horses, their muscles glistening under the weight of the barrels they transport. This scene showcases the dedication and hard work required to deliver this beloved beverage to its eager patrons at the Old Shambles pub. A group of men can be seen alongside the cart, meticulously unloading and maneuvering these heavy barrels with great care. Their faces reflect both determination and camaraderie as they navigate through Greater Manchester's narrow streets. This snapshot from England's past not only portrays a vital aspect of daily life but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. It reminds us that behind every pint enjoyed at our local pub lies countless hours of laborious effort. Corfield's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physicality involved in delivering beer but also highlights how it brought people together – whether it be those working diligently or those eagerly awaiting their favorite brew inside The Old Shambles. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that history is often shaped by ordinary moments such as these – where hardworking individuals contribute to creating cherished memories for generations to come.
