EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quaint village of Alciston, East Sussex during the 1960s, showcases the annual Good Friday skipping contest held outside the Rose Cottage Inn. The road, typically bustling with traffic, is officially closed for this beloved local custom, allowing the community to come together and participate in this rural tradition. The scene is filled with a joyful energy as both children and adults engage in the simple yet engaging activity of skipping, using a long rope that spans the length of the empty street. The pub, a public house and a focal point of the village, serves as the backdrop to this lively event. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of this English village. The absence of cars on the road adds to the serene atmosphere, emphasizing the sense of unity and camaraderie among the villagers.
