EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of joy and celebration during an evening entertainment in Carlisle, Cumbria. The occasion was the farewell party for W B Haughan, the esteemed General Manager of Laings Carlisle branch. As he prepared to embark on his new role as General Manager Overseas, this event served as a heartfelt send-off. The stage is adorned with a group of talented individuals who are passionately performing for the gathered audience. Their energy is palpable as they entertain and create an atmosphere filled with laughter and cheer. The microphone stand stands tall at the center, symbolizing the power of their voices that captivate everyone present. Amidst all the merriment, W J Beckwith is welcomed during a presentation as Haughan's successor, ensuring continuity within Laings Carlisle branch. In recognition of his dedicated service, Haughan receives a thoughtful gift from staff members - a set of leather traveling cases - representing their gratitude for his leadership. As radio baloney fills the airwaves and scripts guide these performers through comedic routines, it becomes evident that this gathering holds immense significance to both Haughan and those bidding him farewell. This snapshot from the 1950s serves as a testament to not only their camaraderie but also to how moments like these can forever be preserved through photography.
