The Christmas lights at Charing Cross, Birkenhead are tested before the official switch on, Liverpool, Merseyside. The central tableau on the roundabout carries the figures of the Flintstones cartoon characters. The image, taken on a time exposure, shows the track of various car lights 23rd November 1963. In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a magical winter evening in Birkenhead during the 1960s. As darkness descends over Charing Cross, anticipation fills the air as locals gather to witness the testing of the enchanting Christmas lights that will soon illuminate their beloved town. The centerpiece of this festive display is none other than Fred Flintstone and his animated family from 'The Flintstones' cartoon series. Towering above all else on a roundabout tableau, they bring an element of childhood wonder and nostalgia to this holiday scene. Captured through a time exposure technique by Staff photographer W. H Holland and Sons Ltd. , we see streaks of light tracing across the frame as cars pass by in excitement for what lies ahead. Bicycles and scooters add charm to this bustling night scene while shops adorned with decorations create a warm glow against the darkened sky. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and evolving customs, some traditions remain steadfast. It encapsulates both community spirit and holiday cheer - elements that continue to unite us during this joyous season.
