EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the nostalgic hues of sepia, this vintage print transports us back to a sun-soaked September day in 1959. At St Chads Cathedral School in Lichfield, a group of exuberant boys are seen joyfully splashing and diving into the refreshing waters of their school's pool. As they revel in their outdoor leisure time, the towering spires of the nearby church stand as silent witnesses to their youthful energy. The image encapsulates an era when swimming pools were not just mere recreational spaces but also served as sanctuaries for camaraderie and childhood adventures. The lido-style setting adds an air of sophistication to this idyllic scene, with its pristine blue water contrasting against the surrounding greenery. In those simpler times before digital distractions consumed our attention, these boys found solace and freedom within these waters. Their carefree laughter echoes through time, reminding us all of the purest form of happiness that can be found amidst friends and shared experiences. This photograph is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it serves as a poignant reminder that even decades later, memories have the power to transport us back to moments filled with innocence and unbridled joy. It invites us to dive into our own personal histories and relish those cherished memories that shape who we are today.
