EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1936 in Bristol, England. The image captures a group of schoolgirls from Colstons Girls School joyfully celebrating Colston Day with a traditional treat - the famous Colston bun. This delectable pastry, also known as MV Day, holds great significance as it commemorates the granting of a royal charter to the Society of Merchant Venturers by Charles I in 1639. The girls' faces beam with excitement and anticipation as they indulge in these sweet delicacies. Their uniforms and youthful energy add charm to the scene, reminding us of simpler times when traditions were cherished and celebrated. It is fascinating to note that this particular Colston Day holds an additional milestone – marking the 300th anniversary of Edward Colston's birth. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of cultural customs passed down through generations. As we admire these young women immersed in their tradition-filled celebration, we can't help but appreciate how food has always played an integral role in bringing communities together. Thanks to Western Daily Press for preserving this nostalgic snapshot that showcases both history and heritage. Whether you have personal connections to Bristol or simply appreciate glimpses into our shared past, this print is sure to evoke warm memories and spark curiosity about days gone by.
