EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to the year 1934, where a group of men can be seen engrossed in a lively game of shove-halfpenny at the Hollist Arms in Lodsworth. The atmosphere is filled with nostalgia as these gentlemen, dressed impeccably in suits and caps, showcase their concentration and skill. The barman stands nearby, observing the game with interest. Behind them, we catch glimpses of a well-stocked bar adorned with various drinks including Reid's Stout (not the company), adding an authentic touch to this snapshot of pub life from yesteryears. The walls are decorated with charming wallpaper while skittles rest against one side. Amidst all this activity, a lamp casts its warm glow over the scene while delicate flowers add a touch of natural beauty. Laughter and camaraderie fill the air as friends gather for some light-hearted fun over pints of beer. This picture perfectly encapsulates an era when public houses were not just places for refreshment but also served as social hubs where people came together to enjoy each other's company. It reminds us of simpler times when games like shove-halfpenny brought joy and friendly competition into our lives. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, it evokes feelings of warmth and fondness for days gone by – a testament to how images have the power to transport us through time and evoke emotions that transcend generations.
