In this nostalgic print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant and humorous atmosphere of the National Town Criers Championship held in Hastings during July 1952. The focal point of the image is Ben Johnson, who proudly stands as the winner of this prestigious competition. Dressed in a traditional town crier costume that exudes elegance and charm, Ben's beaming smile reflects his triumph. Adding an extra touch of whimsy to this delightful scene is Rebecca Bilsby, crowned Carnival Queen for the event. As tradition dictates, she leans forward to plant a kiss on Ben's cheek - a playful gesture that symbolizes their shared joy and celebration. The photograph captures not only their affectionate moment but also showcases the colorful costumes worn by other participants in this carnival-like gathering. It serves as a reminder of how such events brought communities together during simpler times, fostering camaraderie and laughter among neighbors. This snapshot from Mirrorpix encapsulates both the spirit of friendly competition and lightheartedness that characterized these festivities in the 1950s. With its charming blend of couples kissing amidst an array of eye-catching outfits and gleaming trophies, it transports us back to an era where humor reigned supreme.
