EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1950s, a time when sports heroes were revered and local pubs were the heart of communities. The image features Bruce Woodcock, the former Heavyweight Champion hailing from Doncaster, who took over The Angel pub in Bolsover near Chesterfield in May 1952. Bruce Woodcock's imposing figure dominates the frame as he stands proudly behind the bar. With his muscular build and determined gaze, it is evident that even outside of the boxing ring, he exudes strength and resilience. Dressed in a crisp suit with rolled-up sleeves, Woodcock effortlessly embodies both power and sophistication. Surrounded by pub games such as darts and billiards tables, this photograph captures an era where camaraderie was fostered through friendly competition over pints of beer. A vintage beer pump can be seen on display behind Woodcock; its presence symbolizes not only refreshment but also celebration - a testament to his triumphs inside the squared circle. This image serves as a reminder of how sporting legends like Bruce Woodcock became integral parts of their local communities beyond their athletic achievements. They brought pride and inspiration to those around them while embracing new roles within society. Memory Lane Prints has once again immortalized an iconic moment in history through this remarkable print – one that encapsulates both sporting greatness and the timeless appeal of neighborhood pubs during simpler times.
