Band Bolton Brass Lancashire Prize Temperance Hindley Westhoughton
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Wingates Temperance Prize Brass Band from Westhoughton, Bolton, near Hindley in Lancashire, England during the 1910s. The Temperance Movement, which advocated for the reduction of alcohol consumption, was a significant social force during this era, and the name of the band reflects its connection to this cause. The members of the band, all dressed in their smart uniforms, are seen here in a moment of camaraderie and concentration, poised to deliver a stirring performance. Brass bands were a popular form of entertainment in working-class communities during this period, and the Wingates Temperance Prize Brass Band would have provided a source of pride and enjoyment for its local audience. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when music brought people together and social issues were passionately debated. This photograph is a testament to the power of community, music, and the enduring spirit of the Temperance Movement.
