EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Ipswich, Suffolk in September 1950. The focal point is a magnificent Brewers dray, proudly emerging from the yard of the Saracens Head. A Cobbold & Co emblem adorns its side, symbolizing a local brewing firm that supplied numerous public houses within a small radius. The dray itself is an impressive sight to behold - a well-adapted working vehicle designed for transporting barrels of ale. Two majestic horses stand at the forefront, their strength evident as they effortlessly pull ten or 12 barrels behind them. Their sleek coats glisten under the sunlight, adding an air of elegance to this scene frozen in time. Hallam Ashley skillfully captures this moment with his camera lens, showcasing both the historical significance and craftsmanship involved in such transportation methods during that era. The composition perfectly frames the dray against a backdrop of charming buildings and cobblestone streets. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carriages were still prevalent on our roads. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times when local businesses thrived within close-knit communities. This print by Hallam Ashley offers us not only a glimpse into Ipswich's past but also celebrates the enduring beauty and gracefulness of these noble animals who played such vital roles in our history.
