EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, James Dowsett, a bookmaker and turf accountant, is seen intently focused on the racing results displayed on the chalkboard behind him. The year is circa 1950s, and the setting is the bustling Duke Street in Brighton, England, a hub of horse racing betting activity. James, dressed in a smart overcoat and fedora, is poised over a crate filled with betting slips and odds sheets. His hands are busy making calculations and adjusting the prices on the board based on the latest race results. The air is thick with anticipation and excitement as bettors gather around him, eagerly placing their bets and seeking his expert advice. The sign above his head reads "James Dowsett, Bookmaker and Turf Accountant," a testament to his dual role in the horse racing world. As a bookmaker, he sets the odds and accepts bets from individuals, while as a turf accountant, he acts as a middleman between the bookmakers and the racecourse, providing up-to-date information on the horses and races to help set the odds. The photograph captures the raw energy and thrill of horse racing betting in the 1950s, with the sound of chalk scribbling on the board, the clinking of coins, and the animated conversations between bettors and James. It's a snapshot of a bygone era, where the art of bookmaking and turf accounting played a pivotal role in the world of horse racing.
