EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to July 1967, witnessing the memorable moment when a young man named Winkle Colline Pellett completed his six-year apprenticeship as a compositor. The snapshot captures the vibrant atmosphere outside Wilkinson Bros. , a printing firm located in Laystall Street, off the bustling Clerkenwell Road. As lunchtime struck twelve, Winkle was led into the street by his enthusiastic workmates who joyously banged hammers on benches. Excitement filled the air as he found himself tied to a trolley placed in the gutter just outside their workplace. With curious eyes peering from windows and steps above, everyone eagerly awaited what would unfold next. Suddenly, fire buckets were playfully splashed over him followed by an unexpected shower of flour, eggs, and paper streamers. Amidst laughter and cheers from his colleagues, Winkle embarked on an exhilarating journey through the streets and Leather Lane market at running speed while still bound to his trusty trolley. The lively procession finally came to rest in front of Gamages store in Holborn where Winkle remained tied up for all to see. Engaging with amused onlookers for a few minutes, he soon caught the attention of two concerned policemen who arrived seeking clarification about this peculiar scene. Winkle confidently explained that he had "passed out" after completing his apprenticeship and shared this unique tradition with them. Graciously accepting their assistance, they promptly freed him from his restraints before bidding him farewell. Covered head-to-toe in flour, water droplets glistening like diamonds under sunlight alongside remnants of eggshell clinging onto him like badges of honor; Winkle then pushed back towards Wilkinson Bros. , pushing their trolley through busy streets amidst admiring glances from passersby. This remarkable photograph immortalizes not only a significant milestone in Winkle's life but also showcases camaraderie within workplaces and the enduring spirit of celebration.
