EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the nostalgic era of the 1960s, capturing a timeless childhood pastime. In this snapshot, we witness two young boys from St Illtyds School in Cardiff engrossed in an intense game of conkers. The boy on the left is identified as Colin Brett, while his competitor is Dennis Hayes – both aged just 11 at the time. Their faces are filled with excitement and determination as they swing their conker-laden strings, hoping for that satisfying crack upon impact. Standing nearby is Colin Lyons, attentively observing every move these spirited competitors make. The image transports us to a simpler time when children found joy in simple pleasures like playing outdoors with friends. It serves as a reminder of how technology-free activities could captivate young minds and foster friendships that lasted a lifetime. As we delve into this piece of history frozen in time, it evokes feelings of nostalgia and warmth within us all. It encapsulates an era where innocence reigned supreme and carefree laughter echoed through schoolyards across Cardiff. This remarkable photograph not only immortalizes these three boys but also represents countless others who shared similar experiences during their own childhoods. It reminds us to cherish those precious moments spent engaging in traditional games that have stood the test of time – like conkers – which continue to bring smiles to faces even decades later.
