EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Yorkshiremen living in London. The Society of Yorkshireman in London, along with the Worcestershire Association, organized a joint debate at the prestigious Assembly Hall of the Royal Empire Society on Northumberland Avenue. The date was March 18th, 1947, during the vibrant era of the twentieth century. The topic under discussion that evening was whether "Yorkshire relish has benefited mankind more than Worcester sauce". Two distinguished speakers presented their arguments for each side: Mr G Russell Vick, KC, and Mr John Boyd Carpenter, MP advocated for Yorkshire relish's superiority while Mr JP Eddie, KC and Mr Erskine Symes, KC argued against it. Presiding over this intellectual exchange was none other than Mr Derek McColloch. In this image filled with men immersed in politics and ideas, we witness an important gathering that transcends mere condiments. It symbolizes cultural pride and regional identity as well as intellectual discourse within a diverse society. This photograph serves as a reminder of how even seemingly trivial matters can spark passionate debates among individuals from different backgrounds.
