EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant St Johns Retail Market in Liverpool on the 13th of March, 1964. The image captures a heartwarming moment as the Lady Mayoress of Liverpool, Mrs John McMillan, graciously accepts a beautiful bouquet from Mrs Jinny Reilly. Aged 80 at the time, Mrs Reilly had dedicated over six decades of her life to selling flowers. The scene is filled with nostalgia and charm as market traders bustle about their stalls adorned with an array of colorful blooms. The atmosphere is alive with the fragrant scent of fresh flowers and bustling conversations between customers and vendors alike. As Mrs Reilly presents her carefully arranged bouquet to the Lady Mayoress, it symbolizes not only her dedication to her craft but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of community that thrived within these historic markets. This photograph encapsulates a bygone era when local markets were at the heart of daily life in Liverpool. It reminds us of simpler times when personal connections were forged through face-to-face interactions rather than virtual exchanges. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' preservation efforts, we can now cherish this snapshot from history and appreciate how individuals like Mrs Reilly contributed so much beauty and joy to their communities through their humble trade.
