EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, a group of newspaper delivery boys and girls from Mark James & Son, newsagents of Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex, are seen outside their shop on a sunny day in September 1953. The children, dressed in their delivery uniforms, are excitedly gathered around the manager and owner, Mr. Mark James, as they prepare to embark on an unforgettable adventure. The occasion for their joyous mood is a treat that had been arranged for them: a trip to Wembley Stadium to see Tex Ritter, an American country music singer and film actor, perform live. The quaint newsagent's shop, adorned with an arched sign and adorned with a net, is a testament to the era's charm. The window displays an array of goods, including tobacco products from brands like Capstan, Ogden, and Wills, as well as souvenirs, postcards, and newspapers. The boys are dressed in caps and coats, while the girls wear lace collars and dresses, adding to the vintage atmosphere. The shop's exterior boasts a curtain-covered window, and the owner, Mr. James, stands proudly beside them, wearing a suit and holding a sign advertising the newsagents' trade. The boys and girls, with their rosy cheeks and wide grins, exude a sense of excitement and anticipation for the day ahead. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a simpler era when treats and adventures were savored and cherished by the children of Walton-on-the-Naze.
