EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the summer of 1943 in Honiton, Devon. The image captures a heartwarming yet peculiar tradition that took place during the Honiton Fair - throwing hot pennies to children. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a large group of excited children eagerly reaching out their hands towards the sky as they anticipate catching these sizzling coins. Their faces are filled with joy and anticipation, showcasing the innocence and wonderment of youth even amidst the backdrop of World War II. The scene unfolds on High Street, right outside the Kings Arms Pub, which stands witness to this unique custom. The fair brings together crowds from all walks of life, momentarily forgetting about their worries and fears brought upon by war. As we delve deeper into this photograph's historical context, it becomes evident that such traditions were cherished during times of hardship as a way to uplift spirits and create moments of happiness for children who had experienced so much loss and uncertainty. With Sherborne Brewery signage adorning nearby buildings, it serves as a reminder that even in challenging times like wartime Britain, communities still found solace in coming together to celebrate age-old customs under sunny summer skies. This print is not just an image frozen in time; it encapsulates resilience, community spirit, and timeless childhood memories against the backdrop of one of history's darkest periods.
