EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the spirit of the annual London to Brighton Walk, a cherished tradition for walking enthusiasts in Surrey. As the sun rises over Big Ben at 7 AM, nearly 100 determined entrants embark on this challenging journey. Among them are three notable competitors caught in action as they pass through Brixton. On the left is P J Reading of Polytechnic Harriers, his focused gaze revealing his determination to conquer this arduous race. Next to him strides J F L Henderson of Sussex Walking Club, a seasoned veteran who emerged victorious in the London to Brighton and back walking race just a year before. Completing this trio is C F D Sutton of Belgrave Harriers, exuding confidence as he takes each step towards glory. Taken on September 3rd, 1938, during an era marked by uncertainty between two world wars, this monochrome photograph encapsulates both resilience and camaraderie. The participants' commitment to physical endurance symbolizes their unwavering spirit amidst adversity. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk with utmost care and attention to detail, this image from Europeana photography offers us a glimpse into history's remarkable moments. It serves as a testament not only to the passion exhibited by these athletes but also reminds us of our shared human capacity for perseverance and achievement.
