EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, taken in 1953, children from Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II with great excitement and joy. The town, filled with the festive spirit, organized four children's street parties at various locations around the community. This image captures the scene of the celebration in Churchfield Road, where children have gathered around a long table adorned with plates, cups, and saucers, ready to enjoy their coronation feast. The children sit on benches, dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly awaiting their turn to savor the delicious spread before them. The table is laden with sandwiches, tarts, jam pastries, and other mouth-watering treats, all remnants of the communal meal shared among friends and neighbors. The air is filled with the sounds of laughter and chatter as the children indulge in their coronation treats, their faces reflecting pure delight and happiness. The scene is further enhanced by the decorative bunting that adorns the houses and trees, adding a vibrant pop of color to the otherwise ordinary street. The children's faces are framed by the long, open windows of the houses, creating a sense of warmth and togetherness. This photograph offers a glimpse into a simpler time, where community spirit and the joy of shared experiences brought people together to celebrate a momentous occasion. The children's coronation party in Churchfield Road, Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, is a poignant reminder of the unity and camaraderie that defined the 1950s, a time when the people of Britain came together to celebrate the coronation of their beloved monarch. This photograph, taken from the Pete Frost Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a precious piece of history that captures the essence of a bygone era.
