EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the Medieval May Fair, Teesside, captured on a sunny day of 22nd May 1976. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us to an era filled with rich culture, ancient customs, and thrilling entertainment. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are immediately drawn to the center stage where a magnificent cannon takes its place. A symbol of power and protection during those medieval times, it stands tall amidst a bustling crowd eagerly awaiting the festivities to unfold. The air is thick with excitement as locals gather dressed in traditional attire; their colorful garments reflecting their deep-rooted traditions. The fairgrounds come alive with music and laughter as minstrels strum their lutes while jesters entertain onlookers with acrobatic feats. Intriguing stalls line the streets offering an array of wares - from handmade crafts to mouthwatering delicacies that tempt even the most discerning palates. Flames dance gracefully within fire pits casting enchanting shadows across eager faces. Amidst all this merriment, a majestic maypole stands proudly adorned with ribbons fluttering gently in the breeze. It serves as a reminder of age-old rituals celebrating fertility and unity within communities. This remarkable photograph captures not only a momentous event but also preserves centuries-old customs that have shaped Teesside's cultural heritage.
