EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Day at the Races: Shebberton Course, Bideford, North Devon - November 16, 1923" 2. Subtitle: "An Exciting Scene of Horses and Crowds at the Historic Shebberton Racecourse" 3. The double-page spread opens with an evocative image of Shebberton Racecourse at Bideford in North Devon, captured on November 16, 1923. The photograph, taken from a vantage point overlooking the grandstand, showcases the picturesque racecourse nestled amidst the rolling hills and lush greenery of the Devon countryside. 4. In the foreground, a crowd of elegantly dressed spectators, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, gather around the railings, their eyes fixed on the racetrack. The men don top hats and bowler hats, while the women wear stylish hats and dresses, adding a touch of sophistication to the scene. 5. Further down the track, a group of jockeys, clad in their colorful silks, prepare their horses for the upcoming race. The horses, with their powerful muscles rippling under their sleek coats, seem poised and ready to burst into action. 6. The grandstand, adorned with banners and pennants, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the rich history and tradition of horse racing in this part of Devon. The architecture of the grandstand, with its intricate details and ornate design, is a sight to behold. 7. As the sun begins to set, casting a warm glow over the racecourse, the anticipation builds among the crowd. The air is filled with the sounds of laughter, excited chatter, and the occasional cry of "Off!" as the horses and jockeys make their way to the starting gate. 8. The scene at Shebberton Racecourse in Bideford, North Devon, on November 16, 1923, is a testament to the enduring appeal of horse racing and the camaraderie and excitement it brings to the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasure of watching horses race was a cherished pastime.
