EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1970s at the 15th Annual Laing Horticultural and Handicraft Exhibition. The image captures a moment of pure joy as three women stand in awe, admiring the vibrant runner beans on display. Their smiles radiate genuine delight, reflecting their shared love for nature's bountiful harvest. The setting is John Laing and Son Limited in Page Street, Mill Hill, Barnet, Greater London - a place where creativity blossoms alongside friendship. These women embody the spirit of Laing as they showcase their fashionable attire from that era while enjoying each other's company. One woman holds a lit cigarette between her fingers, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. This remarkable photograph was catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20 by Historic England Archive. It serves as a testament to both our rich horticultural heritage and the enduring legacy of John Laing and Son Limited. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be reminded of simpler days when laughter echoed through canteens and friendships were forged over shared passions. This image encapsulates not only a moment captured on film but also an entire era filled with warmth, camaraderie, and appreciation for nature's wonders.
