EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Easter 1951, we are transported back in time to witness the excitement and competitive spirit of the annual hot cross bun eating competition at the Accles and Pollocks factory in Oldbury. The image showcases four determined contestants ready to devour as many buns as they can within a limited timeframe. From left to right, we see Doug Round, a skilled 17-year-old electrician, followed by John Rutherford, a 15-year-old tool room enthusiast. Next is Brian Jackson, an 18-year-old electrician eager to prove his eating prowess. Lastly, we have Ron Lilley, who ultimately emerged victorious by consuming an impressive total of 20 buns. The atmosphere captured in this snapshot exudes both anticipation and amusement. It's evident that these young men are not only driven by their hunger but also fueled by friendly rivalry. Their expressions range from focused determination to mischievous grins – each contestant fully aware of the challenge ahead. March 1951 marked a time when such competitions were cherished traditions during Easter celebrations. This photograph serves as a delightful reminder of simpler times filled with laughter and camaraderie over shared meals. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints' collection, this image offers us a glimpse into the past while highlighting moments that brought people together through food and lighthearted competition.
