Cheers for a Good Cause - Dockers Rally to Support the Duke
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured in November 1969, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Felmongers Arms, a cozy pub nestled in Willow Walk, Bermondsey. The image showcases a heartwarming moment as dockers unite to start a fund for an esteemed figure known simply as "the duke". Amidst the convivial ambiance of clinking glasses and hearty laughter, five men stand proudly before us, holding up a pint jar brimming with contributions. From left to right, we see Mike Williams at 25 years old exuding youthful enthusiasm; Bobby Calman at 27 radiating determination; George Richardson at 24 embodying unwavering loyalty; George Walker at 30 emanating strength and resilience; and Charlie Osborn at 26 displaying genuine camaraderie. Their purpose is clear – they have come together not only to enjoy their time in this cherished establishment but also to support someone held dear by their community. Though details about "the duke" remain elusive within this snapshot frozen in time, it is evident that these dockers are determined to make a difference. This photograph serves as both a testament to the generosity and unity found within local communities during the swinging sixties and an enduring reminder that even amidst casual revelry, there lies room for compassion and collective action.
