EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Country Course Meeting at the Avon Valley Coursing Club in Salisbury, England, in 1927. The image showcases two countryfolk, dressed in the traditional attire of the era, engaged in the thrilling pursuit of greyhound racing. The man on the left dons plus-fours and gaiters, completing his look with a cloth cap, while his companion, a woman, braves the elements in high boots and a heavy raincoat. The mud-splattered scene exudes an authentic and historical charm, as the countryfolk gather to enjoy their riding pursuits amidst the picturesque countryside. The Avon Valley Coursing Club, located near Salisbury, has a rich history in the sport of coursing, which involves allowing greyhounds to chase a hare over an open course. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the fashion, traditions, and social dynamics of rural life in the 1920s.
