In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to September 1976 at Hebburn Quay Infants School. The image captures a group of happy schoolchildren and their teacher standing in the playground, with smiles radiating from their faces. However, there is an intriguing twist to this seemingly ordinary scene. A mysterious hole in the playground has caused quite a stir among the students and staff alike. As the days went by, this enigmatic hole began to grow larger and larger, sparking concerns among parents. One parent even likened it to a scene out of Quatermass, where they feared that the ground was opening up before their eyes. The safety of these innocent children became paramount as it was decided that an evacuation was necessary until further investigation could be conducted. Despite the uncertainty surrounding them, these resilient youngsters maintained their cheerful demeanor throughout. This photograph serves as a reminder of how unexpected events can disrupt our daily lives but also highlights the resilience and adaptability of children during challenging times. It encapsulates both innocence and curiosity while offering us a glimpse into a specific moment in history - one that will forever remain etched in the memories of those who were present at Hebburn Quay Infants School during that eventful September in 1976.
