EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era at the Jennings dray, Georgian festival in Cockermouth, Cumbria. Steeped in history, Jennings Brewery was established in Lorton back in 1828 and went on to become Cumbria's largest brewery. In 1874, it made its home in Cockermouth where this iconic event took place. The image showcases a magnificent shire horse pulling the traditional dray through an enchanting avenue lined with spectators. The vibrant colors of the festival attire add a touch of liveliness to the scene as people gather to witness this spectacle. Peter Thompson, a skilled drayman and proud representative of his profession, expertly guides his majestic steed along the road. His dedication to his craft is evident as he navigates through the streets with precision and grace. This snapshot transports us back to a time when transportation relied on horsepower rather than engines. It serves as a reminder of Britain's rich brewing heritage and pays homage to those who played vital roles within this industry. As we admire this photograph print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize how it preserves an important part of our cultural history for future generations.
