EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and joy for the staff and residents of Tennal Approved School in Birmingham during the 1940s. Located in Harborne, the school was originally known as Harborne School and provided care and welfare services for children, many of whom were orphans or in need of a safe and nurturing environment. During school holidays, like this one at the seaside resort of Rhyl in Wales, the staff and children would take a much-needed break from their daily routines. The image shows a group of smiling staff members and children, dressed in their holiday best, gathered on the beach. Some are building sandcastles, while others are enjoying a game or simply taking in the sun and sea air. The Tennal Approved School was an important institution in the community, providing essential services to vulnerable children during a time of great upheaval and hardship. The holiday at Rhyl was a small but meaningful way to bring happiness and relaxation to those who spent their days caring for and educating the children in their charge. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of care and support, especially for those who need it most. It also speaks to the enduring power of simple pleasures, like a day at the beach, to bring joy and create memories that last a lifetime.
