EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Jack Spencer, we are transported back to the vibrant fish markets of Liverpool in the 1960s. Mr Lal Summerton, a seasoned fishmonger from Kensington, proudly displays a magnificent hake that was part of the inaugural shipment at the temporary premises of Liverpool Wholesale Fish Markets in Stanley Abattoir. Standing beside him are two fellow industry veterans, Mr Tommy Allen and Mr Joe Smith, both employed by John Duncan's esteemed firm which has found its place within this new market hub. With their weathered faces and experienced eyes, these three men embody generations of knowledge and dedication to their craft. The image exudes an air of excitement as it captures a pivotal moment in time - the arrival of fresh seafood that will soon grace countless dinner tables across Liverpool. The sheer size of the hake held up by Mr Summerton is awe-inspiring; its glistening scales reflecting years spent navigating treacherous waters. This print not only immortalizes a significant milestone for Liverpool's fishing community but also serves as a testament to the hard work and resilience exhibited by those involved in bringing food from sea to plate. It is through such images that we can appreciate our rich culinary heritage while paying homage to individuals like Mr Lal Summerton, who dedicated their lives to providing us with nourishment and delight.
