EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: In this print titled "Manchester Church of England Whit Monday walks" we catch a glimpse of Alison Lawson, a spirited 7-year-old girl from Gay St Mission. Taken on the long walk during the Whitsun celebrations on June 3rd, 1963, this image encapsulates the essence of tradition and community in mid-20th century Manchester. Alison's youthful innocence is beautifully juxtaposed against the backdrop of an urban landscape as she sits beside a parking meter. Dressed in her finest clothing for the occasion, her attire reflects the customs and dress code associated with these annual parades. The Whit Monday walks were not only religious processions but also social events that brought together people from all walks of life. This photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of how deeply rooted traditions can shape our lives and communities. It captures a moment frozen in time when children like Alison eagerly participated in these age-old rituals, adding their own touch to centuries-old customs. The photographer behind this evocative image is Walker from Memory Lane Prints—a testament to his skillful ability to capture fleeting moments that resonate with viewers even decades later. Through this snapshot, we are transported back to an era where religion played an integral role in shaping society while celebrating unity and shared values during festive occasions like Whitsun.
