EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print from 1965, we see the Conservative MP for Smethwick, Peter Griffiths, accompanied by his wife Mrs. Jeannette Griffiths, at a delightful Edwardian Old Time Music Hall evening held at Thimblemill Baths in Smethwick. The couple is seen fully embracing the spirit of the event as they don bonnets and costumes reminiscent of the early 20th century. This image not only showcases their playful side but also sheds light on their commitment to community engagement and local events. As prominent figures in politics during that era, both Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths were known for their dedication to public service. However, it is important to note that this photograph was taken against a backdrop of significant social issues surrounding race and immigration during the 1960s. Smethwick itself was marked by tensions related to these topics at the time. While this picture captures a lighthearted moment between husband and wife, it serves as a reminder of how politicians navigate complex societal challenges while maintaining personal lives. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on political dynamics within communities like Smethwick during that period. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints' staff with great care, this image invites us into history's embrace – reminding us of both progress made and lessons learned.
