A small detail with a long history. 🍍
The pineapples at Hoylake once marked the entrance to the winners’ enclosure when the site was used as a racecourse between 1846 and 1876.
In Victorian Britain, pineapples were a rare symbol of wealth and prestige, and it’s believed they were even presented as prizes to winning jockeys.
A reminder that the history of this place stretches well beyond golf.
