EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting world of the Romani Gypsies in 1960s England. As we gaze upon the image, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages were not just a means of transport, but also an embodiment of culture and tradition. In this particular scene, two Romani wagons make their way towards Appleby Horse Fair in Cumbria, North West England. The wagons stand proud against the picturesque backdrop as they carry within them the hopes and dreams of their inhabitants. On the left side stands Hedley Turnball from Westway, Throckley while on the right is John Sample from Francis Terrace, Newburn. The presence of horses adds another layer of charm to this snapshot from history. These magnificent creatures were not mere companions for travel; they symbolized freedom and strength that resonated deeply with the Gypsy way of life. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into a vibrant community that thrived on its customs and traditions. It reminds us that there is beauty in diversity and richness in cultural heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by NCJ Archive's lens, let us appreciate how it immortalizes a moment frozen in time - one where Gypsies embarked on their journey towards Appleby Horse Fair with pride etched on their faces and determination coursing through their veins.
