EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Holidays with pay" captures a moment of joy and celebration during the post-war era. In response to the Ministry of Agriculture's call for volunteers, 150,000 individuals were required to lend a helping hand on the land. Astonishingly, by April 14th, 50,000 enthusiastic souls had already applied. The picturesque setting at Oxenford Farm in Elstead, Surrey provided the perfect backdrop for this series of heartwarming images. Once an old monastery, it now served as a haven for these hardworking volunteers seeking respite from their daily routines. Amidst the lush surroundings and bountiful food offerings, one particular snapshot steals our attention. Sheila Wells, a vivacious 19-year-old typist hailing from Nottingham, is seen here being playfully lifted into the air - her birthday bumps in full swing. The sheer delight on her face reflects not only her own happiness but also embodies the spirit of camaraderie that permeated throughout this gathering. Dating back to May 27th in 1947 - an era characterized by resilience and rebuilding - this photograph encapsulates both unity and jubilation within its frame. A medium-sized group comprising individuals spanning various ages can be observed reveling together under a cozy blanket of friendship. As we delve into history through Memory Lane Prints' remarkable collection, let us cherish such moments captured forever on film; reminders that even amidst challenging times there is always room for mirth and shared experiences.
