EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1970 at Walsall Football Club's car wash. The ordinary car wash transformed into an extraordinary spectacle as it became a "Jumbo Jet" for a brief period of time. Gilda, a magnificent 2-year-old circus elephant, took center stage as she indulged in a refreshing bath within the confines of the "panda" car wash on the forecourt of Fellows Park Filling Station. The image captures the sheer size and grace of Gilda as she walks through the makeshift shower, her massive frame juxtaposed against the small structure designed for cars. The scene is both surreal and endearing, showcasing an unexpected collaboration between sports and nature. This snapshot encapsulates a moment where two worlds collide - one belonging to human ingenuity and modern convenience, while the other represents untamed wilderness and majestic creatures. It serves as a reminder that even in our urban environments, there is space for enchantment and wonder. As we gaze upon this remarkable sight frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how something as mundane as washing cars could be transformed into such an extraordinary event. This photograph truly captures the essence of curiosity and imagination that defined an era long gone by – reminding us all to embrace moments that challenge our perceptions and ignite our sense of childlike awe.
