EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s in the historic city of Norwich, showcases the excitement and camaraderie of a 100-yard race. The lush, green grass field stretches out before the participants, dotted with trees that frame the scene perfectly. The air is filled with the anticipation of the upcoming race, as men and women, dressed in their summer best, gather at the starting line. The men, wearing white trousers and pumps, and the women, in elegant dresses and tennis shoes, are a sight to behold. Amongst them are distinguished figures of the clergy, clad in their robes and collars, adding an air of respectability to the event. Their presence suggests that this race may have been an annual community gathering, a tradition cherished by the people of Norfolk. The staff and colleagues, likely from various local businesses, are also present, adding to the diverse mix of participants. The starting gun has yet to be fired, but the tension is palpable as the racers take their places, poised and ready to compete. The 100-yard race was a popular event during this era, providing an opportunity for friendly competition and camaraderie amongst the people of Norwich and beyond. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of sports and community spirit in Norwich during the 1910s.
