In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the enchanting autumn of November 1960 in Brailes, near Shipston-on-Stour, South Warwickshire. It is during the cherished Cider Fortnight when the men of this picturesque village unite their efforts to transform hundreds of acres of apples into thousands of gallons of cider. The image captures a momentous scene where hardworking hands tirelessly pick and sort through bountiful crates overflowing with freshly harvested apples. The air is filled with an intoxicating aroma as these dedicated villagers diligently work together, showcasing their deep-rooted traditions and unwavering community spirit. Amidst the flurry of activity, one can almost taste the anticipation building for that first sip of golden nectar. As twilight descends upon Brailes, these diligent men will gather around large barrels brimming with crushed apples to begin the age-old process that will ultimately yield countless gallons of delicious cider. This snapshot not only immortalizes a time-honored tradition but also serves as a testament to the resilience and unity found within rural communities.
