EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Bradford School for Deaf and Disabled Children, established in 1914 on Lister Lane in Bradford, England. The image, taken around 1920, shows a group of children, some seated in wheelchairs and others sitting on buses, gathered outside the school. At the time, the terms "crippled" and "physically defective" were used to describe children with disabilities, and this institution provided much-needed accommodation, social welfare, and care for those in the community who fell into this category. The children's expressions convey a sense of excitement and anticipation as they await the arrival of their transportation, perhaps for an outing or a day trip. The buses, which were likely adapted to accommodate the needs of the disabled children, represent a crucial means of mobility and independence. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, highlighting the important role that special schools played in providing education and support for children with disabilities during a time when resources and opportunities were limited.
